Item Description

Lustrous, translucent, brown pyromorphite prisms to 3 mm are richly scattered as isolated crystals on both all sides and accented with bright, apple-green microcrystals of what looks to be acicular pyromorphite. The gossan matrix looks sintered and may have botryoidal manganese oxides. Classic and rare combination pyromorphite from the famed Broken Hill deposit. Ex Jaime Bird Collection
