Pyromorphite

Item Description

Radiating sprays of lustrous, translucent, tapered apple-green pyromorphite spindles totally cover the undulating thin crust of solid pyromorphite on this most excellent example from the famous Daoping Mine. Many of the crystals, to about 1.0 cm, are hoppered and some have a light iron oxide coating. Essentially pristine, with very few bruised crystals, mostly on the periphery. This is a very fine small cabinet specimen with fine color, artistic form and highly desirable hoppered crystals. These are world-class pyromorphites and someday soon we will wonder where they all went, just like Les Farge and Bunker Hill.
