A plant-like growth of aggregated prismatic green Pyromorphite crystals from the famous Les Farges mine, Ussel, Corrèze, Limousin, France. This miniature specimen was actually previously labelled as from "Aigletons, Corrèze, Limousin, France", but it is much more likely to be from Les Farges mine which is not too distant, particularly as this form of Pyromorphite is well-known from Les Farges mine. One of the old collection labels records that it was acquired in 1975. A nice, dense, 'florette' of Pyromorphite.
