About this specimen
Dimensions: 9.9 × 8.1 × 2.8 cm (3.90 × 3.19 × 1.10 in); longest edge 99 mm (3.90 in).
Acid-lime green, and glittering with it. This pyromorphite is a thicket of stubby hexagonal barrels, every crystal face roughened by a second generation of smaller crystals grown on top, which is what breaks the light into so many small points. The colour is the sharp yellow-green of new spring foliage, darkening in the hollows between barrels and paling toward mint along the right-hand edge.
Pyromorphite is a lead chlorophosphate, Pb5(PO43Cl, and a secondary mineral: it grows in the oxidised upper zones of lead deposits, out of the chemical ruins of galena. Guangxi is one of the classic sources for material in this bright green. The species is soft at Mohs 3.5 to 4 and the crystal tips are brittle.
The plate weighs 170 g. It comes fixed with white putty to a clear acrylic block, tilted so the crystal field turns toward the viewer. The photographs were taken of this exact plate.

I was surprised with how well this was packaged. It is very much appreciated that this beautiful piece was so protected on it's journey.
Adorable little golden barite specimen! Fast shipping, packed with great care, and even came with a nice acrylic display base. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this seller again. Thank you so much!
item arrived safely! packaged is great. The only thing i was concern of was the shipping. i had to ask what's going on with the shipment since it wasnt updated for about almost a week. Luckily the seller said it will be updated within a week. not really sure why so that really worried me. Other than that at least I got my item! but i do wish they tell you first that the item is in maybe a different warehouse or something so as a buyer I wouldn't get nervous where it went. Overall Excellent Service with Maggie! she helped me answer my questions
