Item Description
A very fine and aesthetic small cabinet pseudomorph from the well-known 2015 find at the Yangshuo Mine, connected to the famed Daoping Mine and on the other side of the mountain. Cornflower-blue plumbogummite has pseudomorphed an impressive field of pyromorphite prisms on the sculptural three sided piece. The pseudos reach 2.0 cm and the sculptural quality of the pseudo sprays are noteworthy. The hoppered termination add pizzazz. The few broken crystals are out-of-sight in the primary display views. The periphery wear reveals the underlying lustrous and translucent yellow pyromorphite, adding color and character to this excellent example. Valued at $1000-1250 for richness and quality.
