Plumbogummite (excellent color)

Item Description

These wonderful and eye-catching contemporary specimens from recent finds at the Yangshuo Mine in China are some of the finest color examples of Plumbogummite in the world. This species is known from places like Roughton Gill in England, but those specimens are over 100 years old, and seldom seen on the market. This small cabinet specimen features a coverage of botryoidal Plumbogummite with excellent and rarely seen intense blue color on white Quartz matrix. The piece is in great shape overall, but there are a few contacts that keep it from being 100% damage free. If you look closely around the base of the periphery, you will see a spot of bright greenish-yellow Pyomorphite underneath the Plumbogummite. It appears that this material is no longer being found, so if you want one of these gorgeous specimens, don't miss out as they will become less available on the market. We had a price tag of $750 on this one.
