Pyromorphite (bi-color)

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 may never again produce these superb Pyromorphites. This specimen is a beautiful large miniature / small cabinet consisting of sharp, lustrous, attractive orange-yellow and bright apple green color, hoppered crystals of Pyromorphite (some of which have BOTH colors). The color is truly superb, and the green is about as bright a green color as I have seen in Pyromorphite from any locality. A wonderful display specimen of this material, and definitely one of the more interesting crystal groups I've seen from Daoping. Valued at $950.
