Pyromorphite - fine, large classic Chinese
Daoping Mine, Gongcheng County, Guilin Prefecture
Guangxi Province, Chile
9.8 x 8 x 5.5 CM (cabinet)
price: $2600
An impressive large forest-green Pyro from the era of the best finds at Daoping mine (early 2000's) This is all Pyromorphite and displays incredibly well with slightly matte luster and a deep varied green color. The condition overall is fine but a very close inspection finds only a few small spots of tip roughness. Displays well and the imperfections are almost unnoticeable, yet they do keep the price lower. This style of Pyro was found from about 1999 to 2003 and not since. Later finds had different colors and habits, but this is the most classic. The better Chinese Pyromorphites are now highly respected as some of the best found over the past few centuries. These have become very expensive and rare in this size and quality, this one is from a newly released collection and a very good value (IMHO)!
