Condition
No recorded repairs
Micro-crystals of between 1 and 2 mm richly cover the heavily etched surface of an iron-stained Quartz gossan matrix. The Pyromorphite is zesty light apple-green to tea-green and because of the small crystal size and bright lustre, gives a sparkling appearance. From the Schauinsland Pb-Zn mining district in the Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg, Germany; an ancient lead-zinc mining area.
