Item Description

Rising in an imposing manner from a sliver of ocherous limonite, is a fine cluster of lustrous and translucent, olive green pyromorphite crystals, to 1 cm in length. Some of the larger crystals clearly exhibit hopper growth. A superb miniature from finds of the early 2000's, the piece has a good aesthetic dispay horizon that many just do not have.
