This floater crystal of pyromorphite is characterized by parallel growth, hopper crystals, in one viewing plane; and stepped, terminal growth in another plane of view. So both front and back are something to look at. Some individual crystal extensions are doubly terminated and reach 1.25 cm in length. All the crystals are lustrous and the color ranges from olive green to a forest green. This is a single huge composite crystal for the locale. Complete all around!
