Item Description
China has been one of the most productive countries for new material over the last 10 years. The quantity and quality of the finds in China have been remarkable. The finest contemporary green Pyromorphites on the market right now are those from the Daoping mine in China. I was told that the section of the mine that produced these pieces is now closed and may never again produce these superb Pyromorphites. This specimen is a decent small cabinet consisting of sharp, lustrous, attractive rich apple green color crystals on gossan matrix. The color is lively for the species, but this is not a top shelf Pyromorphite, more of a reference specimen.
