Item Description
Lustrous, translucent, sharp, zoned, leaf-green pyromorphite barrels to 5 mm are aesthetically set on the top edge of the gossan matrix plate on this very fine specimen from the famous mines at Pribram. Pyros of this excellent quality are rare from Pribram and this piece probably dates from prior to World War I, but no proof. Ex Giancarlo Fioravanti Collection and obtained from the Antica Collection in Rome in 1960.
