Pyromorphite

Item Description

This floater crystal of pyromorphite is characterized by parallel-growth hoppered crystals, in one viewing plane, and stepped, terminal growth in another plane of view, so both sides of this piece provide different Some individual crystal extensions are doubly terminated and reach 1.25 cm in length. All the crystals are lustrous and the color ranges from olive green to a forest green. This is a single HUGE composite crystal for the locale. Complete all around! valued $2000. As people who have looked for these know, specimens of this magnitude in size are simply not seen - they are all tied up in old collections. Crystals like this are, I am told, dated mainly to the 1960s or 1970s. ex George Elling collection, from long ago.
