Item Description
Lustrous, translucent, rich apple-green, pyromorphite prisms cover all sides of the sculptural, 3-dimensional crust on this showy and excellent specimen from the Daoping Mine. The pyros reach 1.5 cm and many of the crystals are hoppered. Complete all-around and essentially pristine, with only a couple of broken crystals on the edges. This is fine quality pyromorphite, lustrous and colorful, from this locale. Contemporary classic material.
