Item Description

A dramatic and aesthetic 360-degree spray of powder-blue plumbogummite pseudomorphs after variably-sized elongated, hexagonal pyromorphite crystals from this exciting recent new find. Many of the larger crystals are hoppered, adding pizzazz. The interiors of some of the crystals show the unaltered yellow-green pyromorphite. The two large pseudos are 3.8 cm. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only one broken crystal noted. Exceptional form and high quality make this a very fine example from this recent find. Valued at $1000-1250.
