Item Description

Striking pyromorphite crystal "rabbit ears" crown the top of this adorable and rich matrix miniature from the early 2000s finds at this famous mine. The impressive deeply hoppered crystal is 1.4 cm, while the other "ear" is a parallel crystal cluster. The juicy, lustrous crystals have top flight desirable bright apple-green color saturation. The dense crystallization and form at the base adds much character to this elegant piece, with the bit of noted bruising certainly being only a modest detraction. Priced by the original dealer in the early 2000s at $300 and worth it. A classic color and style of Daoping Mine pyromorphite confirming that this is indeed, a world-class pyromorphite locality.
