Item Description
Lustrous, "wet-look" pyromorphite prisms with very vivid, apple-green color richly cover the 3-dimensional gossan matrix on this EXCELLENT specimen from recent finds at the famous Daoping Mine of China. The crystals reach 1.5 cm and some are hoppered. This is about the top color for Daoping pyromorphite. Highly representative of the species and locality, even with the scattered bit of bruising.
