Item Description

Without question this is the world's best locality for plumbogummite now. And, something we had never seen before form other locales, replacements of powder blue plumbogummite after very large pyromorphite crystals! This incredible find is less than 2 years old but it is DONE now. This magnitude of specimen in such balance and aesthetics has sold on the market easily for $3000-7500, a broad range, admittedly depending on the dealership at Tucson and Munich. Clusters like this feature opaque crystals to 6 cm in length, with light greenish blue hue.This is from the lot I bought in China in November of 2014, and was a straggler coming back from the lab so it missed my premieres of the new finds. Since that time, other dealers have also presented them for sale, and I believe at quite higher prices. But, this missed my own premiere of the pocket, and so I offer it up for auciton here!
