This specimen has one of the most unusual crystallizations of any pyromorphite I have seen from ANY locality: The top crystal spreads out in a flower-like, hoppered growth atop the pedestal of lesser crystals. It is, even amongst thousands of specimens from the locality, very unique! The crystal measures 3 cm across atop. 3.9 x 3.1 x 2.4 cm
