Plumbogummite is a relatively rare secondary complex hydroxyl Pb-Al phosphate. Pretty variable blue translucent botryoids are dramatically festooned on the sculptural mounded curved quartz matrix plate. The periphery wear reveals that the botryoids have totally or partially replaced bright yellow mimetite cores. These came out around 2005 from the Yangshuo Mine and were followed up by the spectacular 2014-15 finds of plumbogummite after dramatic large hoppered pyromorphite crystals. This is a very fine and rich small cabinet example of this varietal. valued $1000-1200
