Pyromorphite (fine color and quality)

Item Description

When it comes to Pyromorphite, the finest contemporary green specimens are those from the Daoping Mine in China. The best of these specimens are simply as good as any other Pyromorphites from virtually any world locality. A source in China has told us that the area of the Daoping Mine that produced these pieces is finished and we may never see these superb Pyromorphites again unless a new area is opened up. This miniature sized piece features excellent quality, very sharp, lustrous, well-formed, notably skeletal / "hoppered" crystals of hexagonal Pyromorphite with a lovely Granny Smith apple green hue. The largest crystal measures 7 mm. A good three-dimensional display specimen of these now classic specimens.
