All across the front side of this specimen are bushels of large Pyromorphite crystals (up to 1.9 centimeters across) that have a highly desirable apple-green hue and are set against a beautifully contrasting white Quartz matrix. The stocky crystals throughout the specimen have a sharp hexagonal habit and a gently curving, prismatic structure; many of the Pyromorphite crystals have deep hoppering at their terminations that gives some of the larger crystals a cavernous appearance. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.
