Pyromorphite
Invested with just enough, contrasting, limonite matrix, this apple green, lustrous pyromorphite cluster, has crystals as large as 1.3 cm across nestled in a vug. Super-colorful and really quite large example, for this quality, from a famous 1998 find here. You see few speicmens today of this size and quality around, but even when they came out, there were few above 3 or 4 cm in size overall that were of any quality. I remember the find vividly, as I was able to find so fe wlarge pieces at the time!
