This unique habit of Pyromorphite - as millimetre-scale seed-like camouflage-green aggregated crystals was found in one small area of the opencut at Driggith mine in the Caldbeck Fells and most of the best specimens were extracted during the 1960s. This small miniature specimen from Malcolm Southwood's collection is a fine example of this unusual form.
