A truly classic cabinet specimen of acicular, leaf to oil green Pyromorphite richly covering a mound of brecciated and recemented milky Quartz clasts with associated cockscomb Baryte. The colour and crystal habit are exceptional, although Roughton Gill is known for its enormous range in the appearance of its Pyromorphite. The specimen is labelled Roughton Gill, although it is not known if this refers to the mine or one of the many mines in Roughton Gill itself; Roughton Gill mine being one of these. The acicular crystals are typically between about 4 and 7 mm long and protrude outwards from all over the specimen’s surface, including areas on its base. Examined under low magnification, the tips of some prisms are broken, yet at this fine scale and with hundreds of crystals covering the matrix, any damage becomes lost amongst the complexity of the crystallised surfaces. It’s a delightful specimen that will make a choice addition to any collection from the Caldbeck Fells in the English Lake District.
