Pyromorphite, Les Farges Mine, Ussel, Correze, France

A large European classic mineral: pyromorphite from Les Farges, France! This imposing specimen shows pyromorphite crystals encrusting (replacing?) several preexisting bladed crystals (of what, I am not sure, although they are hollow). The entire piece shows intriguing form that entices you to study it further from every angle. Unique specimens such as these are difficult to let go. From Les Farges Mine, Ussel, Correze, France. Dimensions: 5 cm x 8.5 cm
