Pyromorphite (2 generations) ex John Schneider Coll.

Item Description

An aesthetic, arborescent cluster of lustrous, translucent, elongated, large, chocolate-brown pyromorphite prisms has a nifty sprinkling of tiny, second generation, lighter brown barrels on this showy and excellent miniature from Broken Hill. This is old material, and crystals of this size are really hard to obtain! The large capping crystal is about 2.5 cm. This crystal is hoppered and has partial termination bruising and the tip of the crystal to the right is broken. Again, the mere presence of this quality and crystal size from this old deposit is rare. Ex John Schneider Pyromorphite Collection. Valued $750-1000
