Aspri'res in the Occitanie region of southern France is recognised as a classic locality for several mineral species amongst which is Pyromorphite. Pyromorphite occurs here in a variety of habits and colours, although the rather bubbly habit of this beautiful cabinet specimen is one seen often enough as to be recognisable from Aspri'res. Lustrous, oily siskin-green, rounded Pyromorphite crystals cover the entire top surface of a fawn, tan, light-brown and white matrix of Baryte, built of tightly packed and naturally cemented blades. The Pyromorphite crystals average 5 to 8 mm wide and form as curved prismatic barrels with flat hexagonal terminations. These pinacoid faces very between, flat, concave, stippled and smooth. The Pyromorphite, which covers an area of approximately 10 x 7.5 cm is edged with an acidic lemon ring where the peripheral Pyromorphite crystals have been split open on removal from the vug. An eye-catching specimen which will make a superb display piece.
