An AESTHETIC, plumose spray of heavily hoppered, reddish-brown pyromorphite prisms from the famous Les Farges Mine of France. Some of the terminations of the highly lustrous crystals have the classic, mustard-yellow tips. This beauty is complete all-around and is very nearly pristine, having only one tiny broken crystal at the base. This world-class pyromorphite locality produced an amazing variety of forms and colors during its short production history. This is certainly a good one. Ex. John Ydren Collection.
