Condition

Dark yellow green to acidic leaf green intergrown crystals of Pyromorphite form a ridge over Quartz from the Berezovskii mining area in the Middle Urals of Russia. The Pyromorphite forms stubby truncated hexagonal prisms, often with ill defined terminations. This attractive miniature is characteristic of early specimens found in many of the great 18th and 19th century collections and is priced accordingly at $150. It is a lovely Pyromorphite from the famous Berezovskii mining district, perhaps best known as type locality to Crocoite.
