Asprières is considered a relative newcomer on the French Pyromorphite scene. This miniature specimen from Asprières, Aveyron, Occitanie, France, shows the quality of specimens from there. A rich aggregate of wonderful, waxy, yellow green to light brown curved prismatic Pyromorphite, some with hoppered terminations. The crystals exceptionally reach nearly 1 cm in length. There is some minor damage to one or two crystals, but that does not overly detract from what is a lovely rich specimen. The Pyromorphite covers and grows up from a narrow piece of gossanous matrix.
