Item Description

An excellent, aesthetic, 360-degree quality of a now very hard to find Bulgarian pyromorphite thumbnail specimen featuring intergrown, sharp, very well-formed, lustrous, translucent, hexagonal prisms of a lovely golden-brown to dark brown color. The largest pyromorphite crystal measures 2.0 cm long and the two large crystals have nifty hoppered terminations. Typically, the pyromorphites from this locality are not this size, and the crystals on this piece are in very good shape for the material to boot.
