1.9" Green, Pyromorphite Crystal Cluster - Chine

This is a cluster of apple green Pyromorphite crystals from the Daoping Mine in the Guangxi Zhaung Autonomous Region of China. The lustrous crystals form sprays of hexagonal crystals which contrast well against the brown/orange matrix.

Pyromorphite is a mineral species composed of lead chlorophosphate: Pb5(PO4)3Cl, sometimes occurring in sufficient abundance to be mined as an ore of lead. It forms small, hexagonal crystals ranging from dark green to yellow, to orange.
