Description
A small matrix specimen with lime-green Pyromorphite crystals gathered around pockets and across the warm brown host rock. Fine sparkling growth and brighter green crystals near the top provide contrast in a compact boxed display.
This piece separated from one of my larger specimens from Daoping Mine, Gongcheng County, Guilin, Guangxi, China. It retains the locality of the parent specimen. The break surface is part of its condition and is reflected in the price.
