Item Description

Lustrous, rich apple-green pyromorphite prisms with hoppered terminations form a rich and sculptural rolling solid crust on this very aesthetic and excellent specimen from early 2000s finds at this famous mine. The crystals reach about 1.3 cm. Pristine, with only trivial periphery wear. The Daoping Mine has produced a dizzying variety of pyromorphite forms and colors and this is an outstanding example of this style and hue. Valued by the former dealer at $1200.
