Item Description

Three generations of pyromorphite richly cover this aesthetic miniature from recent finds at the famous Daoping Mine. Florets of larger, luscious, translucent, rich apple-green prisms with some hoppered terminations crown the very sculptural, cavernous crust. Both sides host sprays of tiny, tapered, yellow-green, acicular crystals and tight clusters of small, light apple-green prisms. This cutie displays well from the crest and from either side! Some day we will wonder where all of these went.
