I don't need to tell you how difficult it has become to get Les Farges pyromorphites, so I was really happy to find this one, out of an old collection. Lustrous crystals to one centimeter, many of them standing well up off the matrix to really show them off. Classic Les Farges color! More importantly, they have a really neat waxy, wet luster to them. 5.9 x 4.2 x 3.6 cm
