Item Description
Lustrous, translucent, apple-green, pyromorphite prisms in aesthetic radial sprays cover the sculptural, 3-dimensional CABINET crust on this showy and excellent specimen from the Daoping Mine. The pyros reach 7 to 8 mm and many of the crystals are hoppered. Essentially pristine, with only a couple of broken crystals on the edges. This is fine quality large pyromorphite, lustrous and colorful, from this locale. Contemporary classic material.
