Pyromorphite
Emplaced on vugs within a siliceous limestone matrix are beautiful, lustrous and translucent, apple-green crystals of pyromorphite to 6 mm in length. This piece has a long history back to the mid 1800s, and was sold from the eminent dealer of the time, Bryce Wright Sr., to British Museum in 1860. By exchange, it then traded out to Lindsay Greenbank in 1973. BMNH label 32198 and another intricate old label accompany this specimen (which is nearly identical to another piece from Wright, shown on page 47 of the Greenbank book.
