Item Description

From the famous discovery of 2014 this cluster of prismatic Plumbogummite crystals still exhibits the crystallography of their original Pyromorphite hosts. The piece is not completely pseudomorphed / replaced, so you can still see both species present. The crystals show hopper growth at their terminations with the gentle blue hue of the Plumbogummite contrasting with stark green tone of the Pyromorphites. The largest crystal measures 2.6 cm long. A superb quality small cabinet display specimen of this contemporary material that will go down as iconic and classic. The piece comes with a FREE lucite base for easy display. Valued at $2,750 in the inventory.
