1.9" Pyromorphite Crystals on Quartz - China

This is a beautiful cluster of apple green Pyromorphite crystals on a quartz encrusted matrix, from the Daoping Mine in the Guangxi Zhaung Autonomous Region of China.

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.
