A very aesthetic, two-sided thumbnail of deeply hoppered, highly lustrous, apple-green pyromorphite prisms from recent finds at the famous Daoping Mine of China. This is an outstanding example from this locale, where these pyromorphites have become contemporary classics. They compare very favorably with Bunker Hill and Les Farges specimens.
