Item Description

Lovely thumbnail of classic apple-green Pyromorphite from the famous lead mines at Daoping. These hexagonal crystals have superb luster and several are hoppered, which is a very desirable habit in this species. The largest of the Pyromorphite crystals is about .7 cm long and .6 cm thick. The superb thumbnail is not only rich in crystals, but it is three dimensional. All viewing angles are excellent on this terrific thumbnail.
