A very beautiful cabinet specimen of Welsh pyromorphite.  While not terribly rare, specimens from this mine  are uncommon--especially in this quality.

It consists of several ball like clusters of pyromorphite nearly centered on a matrix of small, white quartz crystals.  Quite simply, its one of the best pieces I've seen from Bwlch Glas, both in terms of balance, as well as aesthetics.
