Gemmy, intensely lustrous, "wet-look," apple-green pyromorphite prisms to 1.0 cm cover the curving matrix of bladed baryte on this excellent specimen from recent finds at the Daoping Mine of China. These are about as gemmy of Daoping pyromorphite crystals that I have seen and the piece is pristine.
