A small cabinet specimen of many richly coloured and lustrous "inflated" barrel crystals of limey siskin green Pyromorphite investing a stable, yet saccharoidal, Quartz matrix. From Roughton Gill in the Caldbeck Fells of Cumbria, England, the Pyromorphite displays good levels of translucency for the locality and most of the crystals are free from damage. The specimen is accompanied with a label from a previous collection but with no record of whose collection it was.
