These fine Chinese pyromorphites are noticeably absent from the market now that the mines have been closed for some time. This specimen is distinguished by having 2 generations of crystals, the first ones around 0.5 cm, and the second these tiny acicular ones that decorate the sides of the larger ones in little sprays. Fine color, and pretty overall form! 4.7 x 4.0 x 2.4cm
