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 miniature specimen consisting of sharp, lustrous, beautiful apple green color, notably skeletal / hoppered hexagonal crystals in a gorgeous formation. The piece is crystallized all the way around, and looks good from several directions. No real damage, save the bottom where it detached from the pocket wall. A nice piece from this contemporary classic locality, valued at $400.
