Item Description

From the new find of 2009. On a worldwide scale, these are not the finest Pyromorphite specimens, but for Boilvia, they are wonderful unique and interesting specimens. For any of you Pyromorphite collectors out there, this is something that is very rarely offered on the open market. This specimen is filled with sharp, prismatic, pale greenish-yellow to whitish-yellow crystals of Pyromorphite up to 3 mm. on matrix. Considering that these crystals are truly from Bolivia is what makes them so exciting. I have never seen anything quite like this from any mine in Bolivia. These are very well formed crystals and not skeletal or hoppered. A great "locality" specimen for any Pyromorphite collector.
