Item Description
When it comes to fine contemporary specimen of fine green color crystallized Pyromorphite, the best pieces are those from the famous Daoping Mine in China. Top specimens hold their own against the finest examples from places like Bunker Hill or Les Farges in terms of size, color, quality and aesthetics. We have been told by a source in China that the area of the Daoping Mine that produced these pieces is finished and we may never see these superb Pyromorphites again unless a new area is opened up. This miniature sized piece features excellent quality, very sharp, lustrous, well-formed, hexagonal Pyromorphite crystals with a lovely apple green hue, free of matrix. There is a slight oxidation coating on a few faces, so there's actually a bit of color contrast. The largest crystal measures 7 mm. An excellent three-dimensional display specimen of these now classic specimens. Valued at $700.
