Canada is not well-known for its Pyromorphites, so when you see one that is green and of this habit, that can only mean the famous old Society Girl Mine! For Canada, this is a superb specimen. The color is good, a slightly two-toned hue; and the luster is very good. The largest crystal reaches and impressive 2.7 cm. Although a few terminations were slightly rubbed, the compound crystal here is large and fine for the locality! A good, attractive miniature specimen that is much bigger than the usual thumbnail which is all we see from here.
