Item Description
Lustrous brown crystal group in parallel growth from the world famous Bad Ems area of Germany! This was almost certainly mined in the late 19th century. This cluster consists of stacked doubly-terminated crystals aesthetically arranged one atop another to form a gracefully curving arc. This is the classic form for the locality and it is a great little piece for in terms of both color and aesthetic form. It is complete all around and is in great shape overall. These piece are few and far between, and are treasured as some of the most beloved Pyromorphites from Europe.
