Pyromorphite on Baryte (classic locale) Paul Zerfass Coll.

Item Description

Two generations of pyromophite cover all sides of the mounded barite matrix on this visually striking and aesthetic specimen from famed Les Farges. The larger, lightly hoppered, honey-brown barrels are dramatically and preferentially set along the ridgecrest of this 3-sided piece. An earlier generation of tiny, lustrous, translucent golden-yellow prisms covers all three sides of this classic and excellent example of this varietal on barite. Nearly pristine, with only a few bruised crystals and a bit of periphery wear. A very artistic two-sided specimen, self-collected by Paul Zerfass # 1516. It reminds me of an Imperial battleship or cruiser from Star Wars!
