Pyromorphite (old classic) Ed David Coll.

Item Description

An excellent, aesthetic and uncommon pyromorphite varietal from this historic locale and the Dr. Ed David Collection. This shapely piece has classic oil-green color, with uncommon but desirable club-shaped crystals, due to a secondary overgrowth of smaller prisms. The large "club" on this piece is an impressive 2.4 cm. Lead mining effectively ceased in Roughton Gill in 1876, so this is a real old-timer. Complete all-around, the piece has many possible display views. Yes, some broken crystals are noted, but have minimal impact to the importance of this fine miniature. Valued at $1250 and worth it.
