Driggith Mine Caldbeck Fells Cumbria, England
Condition
No recorded repairs
Driggith mine lies within the north-eastern district of the Caldbeck Fells and is one of the few mines where, even without a label, its locality can readily and reliably identified. The Pyromorphite is frequently bright oily to siskin green and forming rice-grain habit, barrel shaped crystals. This fine example is a most attractive pale siskin green with slightly brighter crystals on the base. From the display side the matrix is entirely hidden by the dense coverage of crystals and at first glance instantly announces Driggith! Accompanied by M.P. Bayley and Mike Brooke labels.
