Plumbogummite (fine color) on Pyromorphite

Item Description

A few years ago, the Yangshuo Mine in China produced some of the most attractive Plumbogummite specimens ever found, with some of the best form and the richest color seen for the species from any locality in the world. This small cabinet piece is filled with slightly velvety, botryoidal, translucent, gorgeous rich blue colored Plumbogummite which have formed over prismatic yellow-green crystals of Pyromorphite. The largest "finger" measures about 1.1 cm long. The display side is nearly damage free, though there is a contacted edge where the piece was removed from the pocket wall. These specimens are quickly disappearing from the market, and if you collect secondary ore minerals, or simply fine quality examples of uncommon species, do not miss out on this one as they will be very hard to find soon. Priced at $500.
