Pyromorphite

Item Description

The finest contemporary Chinese Pyromorphites in recent decades are those from the Daoping Mine. This 8 cm plate is richly populated by attractive, apple-green Pyromorphites. Interestingly, there are two habits. The larger crystals, which range up to 1 cm, are hoppered and have lustrous terminations. These are surrounded by a dense undergrowth of smaller, almost acicular Pyromorpites that are completely lustrous. This is a fine piece, with good aesthetics and visual interest. These are becoming more scarce as it is unclear what future production, if any, will hold. valued $2000
