Description

Rich specimen with vivid green, dozens of apple green elongated pyromorphite crystals populating an iron-oxide stained massive quartz matrix. Crystals display the classic - for the locality - medium lustre. Very elegant and sculptural, the color is very fine for the locality.

Self collected in 2005, where we found a rare vein in a fortuitous outcrop rather distant from the main locality. 

In my collection since the date of the find.
