A gorgeous green pyromorphite from a place where most of us have never seen anything so large and showy! This is a rich, extensive pocket containing attractive crystals of grass-green Pyromorphite. It looks good from several angles, and sparkles in a case. The lustrous crystals average 3-4 mm, and there are dozens of small, almost floral clusters of the Pyromorphites. Overall, the specimen is quite aesthetic. One of the nicer Pyromorphites in this size range, from Sardinia. (I was told it was probably circa 1970s)
