PYROMORPHITE with FLUORITE

A beautiful specimen showing two generations of Pyromorphite richly coating a flat, thick plate of Fluorite-rich matrix, composed of pale lemon and lilac areas of Fluorite. A seldom-seen specimen from the rare locality of the Rossignol Fluorite vein at Chaillac in France, a locality known for its multiphase hydrothermal mineralogy. The first phase of Pyromorphite deposition manifests as light clove-brown acicular crystals to about 5 mm. Clustered on their terminations are 1 to sub-mm second generation light creamy-buff Pyromorphite crystals. A Pyromorphite unusual for both its habit and location.
