Item Description
Beautiful vivid green tufts of lustrous, translucent, tapered pyromorphite needles are richly and attractively sprinkled across the sculptural starkly contrasting large gossan matrix. The few noted bruised tufts are certainly only a modest detraction to this very showy and colorful example from the well-known, extinct lead-zinc Saint-Salvy Mine. These specimens were recovered from the 1970s into the 1990s, before the mine closed. This is a fairly large and attractive specimen and pieces like this are valued at the European shows at over 1000 euros, and sometimes much more.
