Item Description
Gemmy, intensely lustrous, "wet-look", apple-green pyromorphite prisms to 8 mm cover two sides of the matrix crust, which includes bladed barite on this excellent specimen from recent finds at the famous Daoping Mine of China. Many of the barrels are hoppered, adding character. These are about as gemmy of Daoping pyromorphite crystals, that I have seen and the piece is in great shape. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
