A beautiful large miniature of Pyromorphite from the classic French location of Les Farges mine at Ussel in Corrèze, Limousin. The Pyromorphite forms intergrown bush-like clusters, displaying divergent prismatic crystals, measuring to 0.6 cm tall, displaying typical parallel growth and hopper terminations. The Pyromorphite is a rich and bright leafy-lime green with a reasonable lustre and covers a tan coloured Goethite gossan with inclusions of Pyromorphite. This is a fine specimen of Pyromorphite from this wonderful French location.
