1052233
location:
Horcajo Mines, Almodovar del Campo, Ciudad Real, Castile-La Mancha, Spain
description:
An attractive cluster of lustrous yellowish green pyromorphite crystals with minimal attached matrix. The crystals show good form and bright surface luster typical of material from this classic Spanish locality. Some damage is present, as noted, but the specimen still displays well and retains strong visual appeal.
