Pyromorphite

This is a very dramatic specimen of classic form for these stacked brown pyromorphite crystals, showing an elegant swept-back face of continuous crystal-upon-crystal growth. It tapers towards the base as they usually do. It is of very LARGE SIZE for a specimen of such type; and the price is "relatively" cheap because it does admittedly have some damage (not at all surprising given the age and size), though most of this is on the backside and doesn't appear on the display face. From the side shown, in fact, it looks like a 10k specimen, hands down. You just do not see these things available in this generally impressive aspect!
