A classic neon-green pyromorphite form the early 1980s finds here, with that unique, saturated color that to most people is still unequaled. Although the crystals are smallish, the piece overall is very pretty and elegant, sparkling like glass from all the little reflections. The pyromorphite covers a tentacle of gossan matrix, and is in excellent condition. From the collection of Carlton Davis of Ohio. Joe Budd photos.
