White crystalline Dundasite with Pyromorphite probably collected in the 1990s from Greystones Quarry, Lezant, Cornwall. The Dundasite forms over large areas of the ferruginous Quartz matrix, and over Octahedral Pyrite crystals replaced by Goethite. Gemmy micro-crystals of yellow-green Pyromorphite are concentrated in an area on the specimen.
