Esthetics! Nov. 2009
Attractive and well defined, this is classic style pyromorphite from Les Farges. Fine, sharp and distinctive,the largest crystals on this reach 1.8 CM. Color ranges from a reddish-orange thru olive-green and mustard yellow. The crystals are arranged on slender fingers of Geothite which is specific of older Les Farges pieces. There are a couple of broken crystals but all the main, prominent pyros are perfect. The minor damage also keeps this from being a very expensive piece, yet it can be hidden by choice of display angle. Esthetic and affordable for what is often a costly form of Pyromorphite!
