Description

A speck of white sheath baryte is fully covered by green-yellow pyromorphite crystals. If not for a corner, this would be a floater, or as Italians call it, 'the core of a geode'. Myriads of well-formed barrel/flame shaped crystals populate the matrix, and often they are grown as double terminated and stacked on top of an earlier generation of pyromorphite. The lustre of the crystals is good, classic for the locality.

Scarce material on the market in good quality, the specimen proudly resided in both the former Lehmann (CH) and my collection for many years.

This is by far the best Les Farges pyromorphite I have ever offered in auction.
