An excellent miniature from one of the major finds of the last several months. Both pyromorphite and plumbogummite have long been known from the Daoping-Yangshuo area, but specimens of these interesting partial pseudomorphs first started to trickle out around September of 2014.
There have been three main habits-- large hoppered pyromophites replaced and coated to varying extent by plumbogummite, smaller hexagonal pyromorphites that grade from green to blue along the main axis of the crystals, and lastly, examples like the one pictured here.
This is an excellent miniature from the find.
