Item Description
Classic, brown, Ems pyromorphite barrels to 1.5 cm form this sculptural and aesthetic old-time thumbnail. The crystals on the front are beautiful, rich brown, with high luster and translucence. The crystals on the back and side have moderate luster and a matte finish. Opposing crystal clusters give this cutie real panache, especially the horizontal barrels on top. In excellent shape, overall, the side wear on one side is certainly not much of a detraction to this showy and classic pyromorphite. Ex Al Ordway Collection
