Item Description

"Wet-look", translucent, light brown pyromorphite barrels to 1.0 cm fully line numerous vugs and surfaces of the very 3-dimensional box work matrix of solid bladed cerussite. This is a classic Ems District pyromorphite of very fine combination quality. Some of the crystals are hoppered and all are in excellent shape. The cerussite coverage on all sides is extremely rich. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection. Very rich lead ore, hefty for its size at 196 grams. Valued at $800-1000 easily at shows and well worth it - I have seen lesser quality for over 1000 Euros at the Munich Show..
