IJP45 Pyromorphite,

Daoping-Yangshuo Orebody, Guilin area, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Central South Region, China

6.7x 4.0x 3.6 cm

$675

 Here is a matrix specimen on NEON green pyromorphite crystals to 1 cm, from a small pocket found in late 2006. That's right--2006.

There was a small find in a neighboring mine, so while the original finds of 2000-2004 have all been depleted, a small number of  newer specimens were available at the 2007 Tucson show.

The color is not "grass green"--this is neon.
