Aesthetic, diverging sprays of lustrous pyromorphite prisms with very vivid, apple-green color richly cover the 3-dimensional gossan matrix on this excellent specimen from recent finds at the Daoping Mine of China. All of the crystals are hoppered. Very highly representative of the species and locality. Common a few years ago, good ones are now much harder to find.
