2.25" Green Pyromorphite Crystals on Quartz - China

“Pyromorphite with Fluorite on Barite. For my taste, this may be the most aesthetic pyromorphite group I have seen from Chaillac. Start with a barite matrix and small yellow fluorites on the top right, then go to terraced shelves with bright grass green acicular groups of pyromorphites arranged like hanging baskets.”

Pyromorphite in the Member Box — this one is from Guangxi. The color is the first thing anyone notices: that electric lime-green comes from the lead in the crystal structure (Pb₅(PO₄)₃Cl). It's one of the few lead minerals that actually looks friendly, and the hexagonal prism habit is textbook. Slightly soft (3.5–4) and heavy — you'll feel the density the moment you pick it up. Worth noting: Guangxi green pyromorphite has been one of the cleanest new-locality finds of the last decade.
