A somewhat enigmatic specimen of Pyromorphite crystals on limonite coating Baryte, allegedly from the Margnac mine at Compreignac in the Haute-Vienne Department of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. I use the term allegedly because I can find no written evidence that Pyromorphite is found at this mine or in its vicinity, but its accompanying German label categorially states this. I would have said it is from Les Farges, but possibly someone reading this can contribute some expert advice on this. It is a lovely specimen, just within the bounds of a miniature, with dozens of limey oil green acicular Pyromorphite crystals averaging 2 to 3 mm long. They have a tapering hexagonal cross-section, narrowing towards their terminations which may be flat pinacoids or spire-like spikes. A terrific Pyromorphite with a locality in want of confirmation or correction by one of our knowledgeable readers.
