Description
Attractive, discrete botryoids of highly lustrous and translucent, bright orange-coloured arsenian Pyromorphite, are scattered over the matrix. The colour is due to trace amounts of arsenic, and was found in this style in the early 1990s. Pyromorphite from this classic US locale is now over two decades old and counting, since last found. The location is now a toxic superfund site and its mineral collecting owner has passed away. No more will ever be found here, sadly. This remarkable piece is a rare example of isolated, discrete balls of Pyro crystals on contrasting matrix, of which so very few were found. They have superb luster and overall the piece presents like it has a sugary sparkle to it
