About this specimen

Pyromorphite covers the upper face of this small Guangxi plate in radiating sprays — slim needles fanning from shared centres, stubbier hexagonal barrels filling the gaps — and the chartreuse green is saturated enough to look lit from within against the drab grey-brown host rock. Rust-coloured staining runs through the matrix below and pushes the colour harder still.

Pyromorphite is a lead chlorophosphate, Pb5(PO4)3Cl, formed in the oxidised zone above lead deposits where phosphate-bearing water attacks galena. The lead gives it real heft for its size and a resinous, almost waxy shine that few other green minerals match. At Mohs 3.5 to 4 the needle tips crush easily, so handle the piece by its matrix edges only.

Small but loud: 3.8 × 3.6 × 2.0 cm, 35 g, set on a clear acrylic block with white putty so the crystal face tilts toward the viewer. The specimen in these photographs is the one that will be packed for you.
