Item Description

Pyromorphite specimens are RARE in this richness and quality from the obscure old Ag-Au-Pb-Cu mines in Davidson County. Juicy, translucent sprays of light yellow-green pyromorphite spindles dramatically cover the oxide-tinted quartz matrix on this outstanding old-timer. The prisms reach 8 mm. Old-time rare and desirable material, certainly from the 1920s or earlier, from the University of Arizona Collection. SELDOM on the market in this quality. A MUST for the species or locality collector!
