A pleasing miniature specimen of instantly recognizable Les Farges mine Pyromorphite. Well-developed, open textured, intergrown, resinous orange-brown, to dark toffee-coloured, seed-like parallel growths of clustered Pyromorphite crystals with pronounced yellow tips with hopper terminations. The crystals of Pyromorphite reach an impressive 2 cm in length. The matrix is white Baryte and Goethite gossan. A fine, dense, well-crystallized aggregate, with the feel of quality and it displays well in several positions.
