About Pyromorphite

Pyromorphite is a vibrant, often green-colored lead-based mineral known for its striking crystal formations. Belonging to the apatite group, it typically forms in hexagonal or prismatic crystals with a resinous to waxy luster. Colors can vary from green to yellow, orange, and brown, influenced by its chemical composition. Pyromorphite is commonly found in the oxidation zones of lead ore deposits, where it crystallizes into stunning clusters or "botryoidal" (grape-like) structures. Collectors prize pyromorphite for its vivid hues, distinctive crystal shapes, and rarity, as it's typically found only in a few locations worldwide.

Safety: The lead in pyromorphite can be harmful if absorbed into the bloodstream by inhalation or ingestion. The crystals won't pose a health hazard just sitting on a shelf, but we recommend washing your hands after handling.
