Pyromorphite - unusual acicular habit
Daoping Mine, Gongcheng County, Guilin Prefecture
Guangxi Province, China
6 x 3.4 x 3.1 CM (cabinet)
price: $1250


A very delicate but elegant cluster of sharp slender Pyromorphite crystals from the amazing Daoping mine (Guanxi, China). This locality is famous for its lead minerals and the Pyro from here is distinctive. This piece is quite special as it is one of the very few examples of the jackstraw habit of needle-like crystals that were found in 2004. We obtained this specimen at the mine in that year where there were only a few like it with the miners. We never saw others there in later years and only a few ever in dealer inventory. This was sold shortly after but is back with us in a collection purchase. The condition is excellent, the color is a delicate pastel green and this is a very distinctive piece that can be displayed in several orientations. An fine Pyro from anyplace and a very remarkable piece for China.
