Pyromorphite on Quartz (Joan Massague Coll.)

Item Description

Lustrous, tanslucent, classic hexagonal, olive-green pyromorphite crystals to 1.0 cm richly cover the front and top of this aesthetic specimen from a smallish 1995 find in Spain at a less well-known mine. The architecture of the crystal clusters is striking and this is one of the finest pieces, that I have seen available from this mine in a while. A very minor bit of periphery wear is noted, but is certainly nothing to detract from this excellent pyromorphite which is otherwise essentially pristine. Ex Joan Massague Collection (noted for his Spanish minerals suite). Valued at $750-900.
