Pyromorphite (old classic)

Item Description

This cutie is from one of the worlds most famous old classic pyromorphite localities. The individual crystals have classic hexagonal barrel form, a bright iridescent luster, and a nice translucence. They have an unusual splaying curvature that is tremendously aesthetic! The balance and aesthetics on this miniature are wonderful, and the single crystal missing from one side of the bottom of the cluster (pedestal portion shown in lower-right) is basically insignificant to the overall appearance...it is otherwise pristine and complete all around. This is competition quality because of its unique elegance and rich butterscotchy color, that makes it stand out from others. These are old, certainly 1800s, and seldom had in such quality today.
