Pyromorphite Var. Arsenian

This is a superb, very lustrous and 3-dimensional miniature that is complete all around and without damage. The large crystal atop is about 1 inch. The piece is robust, sturdy, and of about the top quality you can get in an arsenian pyromorphite from this locality, if you want large and fine crystals. The pieces rarely have such isolation of the major crystal, as well. This is a large miniature/borderline small cab. Most arsenian pyros have a hard time matching their green and yellow brethren from this mine in visual impact and quality both, but this manages just fine, and is a superb example of the find from the mid-1990s. ex Bruce Oreck Collection, a trim from a larger piece of this noted pocket.
