Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of pyromorphite from this famed Cornish locality!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of
complex, lively green crystals of pyromorphite!!! The crystals exhibit sharp, complex forms and have showy green color!!!
This specimen likely dates to the latter half of the 19th century - when this locality was producing some of the finest
pyromorphites known to collectors at the time - especially prized for their unique and intense green color!!!
This specimen retains an old label from Reginald F. D. Parkinson (for whom the mineral parkinsonite was named)and
is from the University of Delaware Mineralogical Museum as well!!! Classic material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 5th!!!
