Pyromorphite, Polysphaerite
A showy and aesthetic specimen of brassy and lustrous reniform brown pyromorphite crystals from Bad Ems, Germany. The brassy luster imparts a hint of green to the crystals. Closer examination of the lighter portion of this solid mass of pyromorphite reveals it to be calcium-rich pyromorphite, known as Polysphaerite. On the BOTTOM of the specimen, however, you see actual CRYSTALS of this rare varietal, sharp and well-defined to 2.5 mm in size! I haven't seen such an example from this location, and only twice before have I seen the material at all (on Idaho specimens) 4.0 x 3.0 x 3.2 cm
