Item Description

While the exact location is unclear (Bad Ems or nearby Dernbach), the quality of these 1-2 mm Pyromorphites is not in question. The sharp, hexagonal barrels are lustrous, gemmy-to-translucent, and they are zoned. The green cores and clear terminations create a very distinctive, and attractive, appearance. Set against the dark, reddish-brown matrix, the Pyromorphites stand out, and the aesthetics are of this small cab are quite good. #7556 in Kay's collection, she acquired this in 1975 from Lidstrom's.
