Pyromorphite- ex. Bally, Marshall
Stribro (Mies), Tachov District, Pizen Region
Bohemia, Czech Republic
6.8 x 5.5 x 3.2 CM (cabinet)
price: $285
A mass of rounded Galena is covered on all sides by sharp brown crystals of Pyromorphite. A choice example from Stribro (Mies) in Bohemia, this was in the Bally Museum (Switzerland) then sold by Alain Martaud to the John Marshall Pyro collection. A floater, the crystals are slender like needles growing on all surfaces. By naked eye this is in perfect condition but with magnification some broken crystals are seen. A much better than average old Mies specimen that is probably the Ca rich variety but has not been tested.
