Description
This is one of the best specimen of this current auction. Here we have a super item covered with relatively large, barrel shaped crystals of Pyromorphite up to 1,5 cm. The Pyromorphite is highly lustrous, sharp edged and beautifully striated. The more robust crystals clearly exhibit hopper growth. Very minor contact on the peripheral and a few small dings on the backside amidst the hundred crystals here, in no way diminishes the quality of the specimen. It is an antique, from the 1960s or 1970s era here. Pieces of this size for the crystal habit, and condition, are almost never seen today. Moreover, the specimen is really 3-dimensional, and comes with a high quality acrylic base. It is not the usual flat plate that lacks relief and depth. This is a very three-dimensional and imposing small cabinet sized specimen.
