PGM03 Plumbogummite ps. Pyromorphite
Daoping-Yangshuo Orebody, Guilin Prefecture, Guangxi Zhuang A.R., China
7.1x 5.1x 4.6 cm
$1800

A cabinet sized specimen of plumbogummite after pyromorphite.  This piece features the desirable blue color, and large hopper crystals of pyromorphite.  As with most, there are a couple broken crystals, but this is still better than the majority (and about 1/2 to 1/3 what you would expect to pay in Tucson)

In my opinion, these have been the major find of the last several months, first appearing as a few "back of the room" specimens at Denver 2014, with more subsequently available from 2-3 dealers in Tucson.  

As with most Chinese finds, the best come out at the beginning, and I consider pieces like this-- with the better bluish color and the largest hoppered crystals-- to be in that category.
