Classic and aesthetic, this cluster of highly lustrous, medium-green Pyromorphite prisms are from the famous and now-closed Les Farges Mine in France. This showy specimen has good color, and the light yellow coloration to many of the terminations adds greatly to the interest level, as well as the aesthetics. It is EXTREMELY hard to find an undamaged specimen from Les Farges, being that they are in such demand.
