Pyromorphite

Item Description

An adorable and aesthetic 360-degree mounded pincushion miniature of juicy, translucent, apple-green, hoppered, tapered pyromorphite spindles from the famous early 2000s finds at the famed Daoping Mine. I particularly like the way the largest crystals are at the crown of the piece and reach about 1.3 cm. Complete all-around and in great shape for all the crystal density, with only a few broken prisms noted. This world-class pyromorphite locale has produced an amazing variety of colors, crystals habits and styles. The beautiful green color and the hoppered spindle form are among the most highly desired varietals. The sculptural quality is first class. Ex. Steve Smale collection.
