Item Description

Translucent, lustrous, "wet-look", apple-green, pyromorphite prisms to 1.0 cm richly and aesthetically cover the crust of matrix on this showy piece from recent finds at famous Daoping Mine of China. Daoping has produced a wide variety of pyromorphite crystal forms and colors. This color is about the best on this showy piece, with many displayable views. The bit of periphery wear and trivial brusing have very minimal impact on the overall quality of this piece, as you can see.
