This fine thumbnail example of the classic Les Farges pyromorphites from the 1950s-1070s, shows off the famous mustard-colored crystals. Note the variegated colors, slightly changing in the terminations - all very characteristic features of this old material. However, such specimens are actually quite rare in quality for fine, undamaged thumbnails such as this. Dr. Erika Pohl-Ströher - 38801
