Pyromorphite
Although kown for pyromorphite and mimetite, this ancient locale (it goes back to the 1700s and earlier) has seldom produced great pyromorphites, mostly prior to the mid 1800s, and mostly of varying colors of grassy green to brownish color. This is the single most color-saturated good pyromorphite I have personally seen available from this old locale. The crystals are huge, about 1 cm in some places, and complexly hoppered. They have intense neon green color the likes of which I have only seen elsewhere in one pocket of Chinese pyros from around 2000 - and these would be extremely expensive today as well, at only a decade old. This piece has no old labels, but it certainly was not from more recent finds at re-exploration of Roughton by Greenbank and friends in the modern era. It is a dramatic, gorgeous specimen. Ex Larry Conklin Collection.
