Item Description

Beautiful and aesthetic sprays of juicy, apple-green, tapered pyromorphite spindles form a striking and most excellent miniature from the Daoping Mine. Some of the spindles are slightly curved, which really adds pizzazz to this cutie. The few broken crystals are certainly only a modest detraction to this very sculptural piece, with many display possibilities. Someday we will wonder where they all went, just like Bunker Hill and Les Farges pyros.
