Item Description
From the new find of 2008. On a worldwide scale, these are not the finest Pyromorphite specimens, but for Boilvia, they are wonderful unique and interesting specimen. 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 good quality, sharp, prismatic, greenish-yellow crystals of Pyromorphite 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 truly not skeletal or hoppered. This particular piece is one of the LARGEST specimens of the material that I have seen. A great "locality" specimen for any Pyromorphite collector.
