IJP3 Pyromorphite,

Merkur Mine, Bad Ems, Hesse, Germany

3.8x 2.6x 1.8 cm

$950

Here is one of the HOLY GRAILS of pyromorphite collecting-- a specimen from the Merkur Mine, known for producing fat, slightly curved ,barrel shaped crystals with an olive color and frequent intergrowth. 

The crystals are double terminated (the back side has the second terminations) and reach 1.8 cm.   As with others on this page, this is an example of a German pyromorphite that rarely makes it to the market--I've only seen 3 or 4 in the last several years, all in the low to mid 4 figures, with one exception, priced the same as this one and less than half the size.

It is best when displayed vertically, but the pictures show it in a horizontal position.
