Locality
Daoping Mine, Guilin Prefecture Guangxi Zhuang A. R. China
Condition
No recorded repairs
In the early 2000s a flood of bright green Pyromorphite specimens reached the world mineral marketplace from China, from Daoping mine, but many were sadly damaged and ultimately the supply was short-lived. Nowadays, finding a really high-class Daoping mine Pyromorphite is much harder, but they do exist. This excellent miniature-sized specimen was owned by Martin Zinn and shows real class. Remarkably free of damage, the slightly concave display surface is completely carpeted in green to yellow-green, distinctively hoppered prismatic Pyromorphite crystals to 7-8 mm in length. This is a really pretty and richly crystallized Pyromorphite worthy of an important collection.
