This combination is rare!

Crocoite with Pyromorphite on Goethite from the Platt Prospect. The Pyromorphite ranges from a coating on the matrix through to small stout prismatic crystals with an apple green colour. This colour combination is amazing and is even better accented with the Goethite coating to some of the specimen.
