Item Description

Adorable pristine, hedgehog-like miniature cluster of pyromorphite prisms from early 2000s finds at the famous Daoping Mine. This cute style features both tapered spindles with desirable hoppered terminations and elongated hexagonal crystals. Pretty apple-green color enhances the translucent crystals, that reach 9 mm long. Daoping is one of the world's great pyromorphite localities and this is an excellent example of this sought-after varietal with 360-degree presence. Ex Dr. Steve Smale Collection. This is a fine miniature for the style, with consistent, very pretty color.
