Item Description

The translucent, blue-gray pseudomorphs of plumbogumite after straw-yellow pyromorpohite prisms give this colorful piece a striking bubbly, botryoidal look. The noted bruising and periphery wear reveal the underlying pyromorphite, which adds character to this very showy and highly representative example from the recent finds.
