Pyromorphite on Quartz casts after Calcite (rare) Zerfass Coll.

Item Description

RARE, rich and sculptural large combination pyromorphite from this famous mine. Scintillating, gemmy and lustrous, hexagonal apple-green prisms are strikingly festooned on the undulating brecciated quartz matrix. Calcite is VERY RARE from Daoping, but the left side of the piece has two partial quartz casts after dissolved away large sharp calcite rhombs, to about 3.0 cm! An EXTREMELY RARE, rich and showy casted pyromorphite combination from the Paul Zerfass Collection # 484. A MUST for the locality or species collector.
