A large and impressive cluster of chunky pyromorphite crystals from the 1970's finds at Les Farges, France.

This piece is a stalactitic cluster, complete all around and with no damage that I can find.  The crystals are fairly large and some even show green undertones.

As far as pyromorphite goes, Europe has been particularly blessed.  Although the majority of pyromorphites on today's market come from the last 10 years of production at Daoping, China, in past decades Spain, France, and Germany were all host to world class finds of pyromorphite.

Today, these European specimens mainly come out of old collections, but they remain extremely unique and sought after examples of the species.
