AKS14 Crocoite with Pyromorphite 

Platt Mine, Zeehan District, Tasmania, Australia

$500

Crocoite/ pyromorphite combinations are only known from a few places worldwide, the most notable being Berezhovsk Russia, Callenberg Germany, Nontron, France, and Zeehan, Tasmania.

Although by no means common, such combos are most abundant from Zeehan.  This piece hails from that locality, but is unusually large-- most tend to be miniatures.

This plate is completely covered with red crocoite crystals set against a beautifully contrasting coating of green pyromorphite, with more on the reverse.

Please note that this specimen is fragile, and some of the crocoite crystals will come off during mailing.  It made it to me by post from Australia, so it should be no problem to send it elsewhere.
