Item Description
Pretty apple-green, nubby, pyromorphite botryoids richly cover the platy quartz matrix on this showy, excellent and uncommon specimen from an ancient fluorite mine. The mine closed in 1975, but specimens were found in to the 1980s. Highly representative and bright material, even with a bit of bruising. Classic green German pyromorphite and it's not from the cmmon locales in Bad Ems.
