This is a historic classic recognizable by its style and form as being from the mid-1800s, or perhaps even earlier, from the Roughton Gill mining district. It has superb, elongated and twisting pyromorphite crystals to approx. 1.5 cm, covering the top display face of the specimen. These ar eperched upoin, smothering really, an underlaying earlier generation of orange-brown pyromorphite that provides a neat color contrast around the sides. The bottom is yet another generation of the fatter greenish crystals, classic for the locale. Though it has minor peripheral edge wear, this is overall in good shape and displays beautifully, especially for a "lovable old classic."
