Item Description

Gemmy, "wet-look", lime-green pyromorphite prisms to 6 mm richly cover matrix on this showy and excellent pyromorphite specimen from a classic German locale. The piece is old, (and the sandstone matrix characteristic) at least 30 years, as the locality is now on the ground of Grafenwohr military camp, the biggest military camp of the US-Army in Europe; and collecting is naturally forbidden.
