A lovely characterful miniature specimen of equant hexagonal Pyromorphite crystals upon Quartz from the renowned Resuperferolitica mine at Minas Viejas in Spain. The Pyromorphite crystals are typically between 4 and 8 mm long and have a waxy to resinous lustre and flat pinacoid terminations. Their colour is highly varied, with pale yellow-green cores, orange outer zones to the central part of the prism and striking milky coffee coloured caps. A great example and rich miniature from the Resuperferolitica mine in Spain.
