Emplaced on and in in a vuggy limonite matrix is a forest of spiky, lustrous, dark lime-green pyromorphite crystals to 3 mm in length. Super contrast in color and texture, overall! This was mined in the late 1970's from the bottom level of the Dry Gill Mine by Ralph Sutcliffe and Anthony Walshaw. A label from Ralph Sutcliffe accompanies the specimen. Very different in style for the norma for pyromorphite here, this piece is large and attractive as well as interesting.
