Item Description
Juicy, gorgeous, lime-green, pyromorphite prisms strikingly invest multiple vugs on this striking specimen from the Daoping Mine. The pyro crystals are up to 8 mm long, most are hoppered and have interesting tapered, bulbous and straight forms. Lime-green, highly lustrous pyros of this quality are highly desirable. The matrix is mostly microcrystalline cerrusite with some limonite. Showy, excellent and rich combination lead ore from this famous locale. Hefty for its size at 215 grams. Ex Zukowski Collection.
