Pyromorphite on Quartz (old classic) Hansen Coll.

Item Description

Juicy, bi-colored pyromorphite barrels, to 7 mm, are aesthetically clustered on the quartz matrix on this fine old-timer from this famous Cornwall locale. The prisms have apple-green bodies with gemmy yellow terminations (hard to see). Specimens of this quality probably date to the mid-1800s. A true Cornwall classic. Wheal Alfred pyromorphites compare to the finest from any world-wide locality. Ex Dr. Gary Hansen Pyromorphite Collection. Valued at $600.
