Pyromorphite -Vintage two toned from Classic locale
Alston Moor
Cumberland, Cumbria, England
8.8 x 7 x 3 CM (cabinet)
price: $2200
Pre Holiday 2017
A very fine, old Pyro having two generations and two colors of crystal growth. A significant specimen, Ex John Marshall Pyromorphite collection, collected prior to 1900. John obtained this in 1972 at the Boylston Massachusetts Library auction of a collection originally donated in 1900. It took him a lot of research and trips to the British museum to clarify the locality. This is described on his detailed collection card included with the specimen. Nearly perfect, very little bruising as seen, most crystals are well defined and lustrous. A very choice example from a less well known classic locale.
