Item Description

This large, robust , thumbnail-sized cluster of pyromorphite features BOTH classic colors from Les Farges, the mustard color and the bright green, together on one specimen. The overall look is really unique, and classic to only a small find here (perhaps in the 1960s, or early 70s). This is complete all around and very 3-D. Old AL McGuinness label. We are truly honored to present this specimen from another lot of deaccessions from the collection of Jack Halpern of San Francisco, as featured in the Mineralogical Record, March 2005.
