Pyromorphite (Meieran Coll.)

Item Description

Mustard-yellow tipped pyromorphite barrels are some of the most striking, unusual and desirable varietals from the famed Les Farges Mine. This world-class pyromorphite locale produced a dizzying variety of excellent specimens prior to its closing in 1981. Lustrous, wet-look, olive-brown barrels to 1.4 cm are sculpturally clustered on a bit of barite matrix on this showy and excellent piece. All of the olive-brown have the desirable mustard-yellow tips and some are hoppered. Ex Gene Meieran Collection and valued by Gene at $250 in a large trade over 10 years ago.
