Large, distorted (bent) crystals piled up high on just a bit of matrix, from the famous finds in China (now finished). These crystals have the bright grassy green color that makes these Chinese pyromorphites so pretty (the "neon" green ones were very, very rare). Some of the terminations on the backside appear to have pocket wall contact.
