Item Description
Dramatic etching highlights this sculptural and aesthetic cluster of intergrown pseudomorph sprays from the well-known 2015 finds at his noted mine. Powder-blue plumbogummite has partially replaced the large lustrous and translucent yellow-green pyromorphite crystals. The heavy etching really accentuates the hoppered terminations and form of the crystals. The terminations have a surreal look and the crystals reach 4.3 cm on this very showy two-sided piece. The noted basal periphery wear has minimal impact to this fine quality of this imposing piece, that displays well without aid.
