Pyromorphite

Item Description

China has been one of the most productive countries for new material over the last 10 years. The quantity and quality of the finds in China have been remarkable. The finest contemporary green Pyromorphites on the market right now are those from the Daoping mine in China. I was told that the section of the mine that produced these pieces is now closed and will never again produce these superb Pyromorphites. This is a beautiful small cabinet specimen consisting of sharp, lustrous, rich green color, hexagonal crystals with an oxidized matrix. The largest crystal measures up to 7 mm, but they are very fun to view with a microscope or loupe. A good little display piece from this contemporary classic locality.
