Item Description

Sculptural clusters of pretty variable cornflower-blue, juicy, translucent, bubbly plumbogummite botyroids artistically fill a sculptural vug on milky quartz matrix on this rich, showy and colorful example from this Chinese locale, noted for outstanding pyromorphite and now also plumbogummite pseudomorphing pyromorphite crystals. This showy piece is nearly solid plumbogummite, with only a bit of contrasting yellow pyrormorphite noted on one edge. Essentially pristine, with only a very modest bit of periphery wear, which certainly has only very minimal impact to the fine quality and rich color of this piece. An exellent specimen of this varietal.
