Item Description

The Plumbogummites from Yangshuo do not get enough credit for their excellent color and quality, which are arguably the best examples of the species ever found. This small cabinet specimen is a wonderful piece of this superb quality material featuring spherical / botryoidal Plumbogummite "balls" measuring up to 4 mm across covering the entire display side of the underlying matrix. If you backlight the piece. you can see the lovely blue color inside! Most of the individual "balls" are undamaged, though there are tiny contacts in spots as you can see in the photos. Good quality pieces like this are becoming very hard to find on the market now, as nothing has come out of this locality for a few years.
