Item Description

Dating back a few years, the Yangshuo Mine in China produced some of the most attractive Plumbogummite specimens ever found. These specimens feature a very attractive form and arguably the richest color seen for the species from any locality in the world. This cabinet piece is filled with slightly velvety, botryoidal, translucent, gorgeous rich blue colored Plumbogummite on white Quartz matrix. The largest "ball" measures about 3-4 mm across. The VAST majority of the "balls" are undamaged, though some contacts can be see around the base and back of the specimen. If you look near the underside of the piece, you can see a small area of greenish-yellow Pyromorphite. 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 $1,800.
