Plumbogummite on Pyromorphite

Item Description

A few years ago, the Yangshuo Mine in China produced some of the most attractive Plumbogummite specimens ever found, with some of the best form and the richest color seen for the species from any locality in the world. This showy cabinet sized specimen is filled with slightly velvety, botryoidal, translucent, grey to blue-grey to blue colored Plumbogummite which have formed over prismatic yellow-green crystals of Pyromorphite on Quartz matrix. The largest "finger" measures about 9 mm long. The display side is in good shape, though there are some contacted areas where the Pyromorphite is visible. These specimens are quickly disappearing from the market, and if you collect secondary ore minerals, or simply fine quality examples of uncommon species, do not miss out on this one as they will be very hard to find soon. Priced at $1,200 in the inventory.
