A fine, delicate miniature of pyromorphite from the finds in China that ended a few years back, taking their place beside Les Farges and Bunker Hill in terms of quality. The upper part of this specimen is all pyromorphite - there is just a bit of matrix at the bottom. The crystals are lustrous, with wonderful color and fine articulation of crystals.
