Description

What a beautiful pyromorphite from this classic French locality! This piece is coated with very attractive, rich green color, hundreds of prismatic pyromorphite on matrix.  The color in these pyromorphite crystals is amazing, especially for the size. You rarely see this color from any locality, but to have a classic old French specimen like this is a real treat.
