Rare aghiform piromorphite on matrix with intense green crystals from Saint-Salvy-de-la-Balme, Tarn, Occitanie, France.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From our selection of collectible minerals, we propose a rare group of crystals on a Pyromorphite matrix from Saint-Salvy-de-la-Balme, Tarn, France.
Moreover, it is characterized by acicular crystals of an intense green color gathered in drusy aggregates that cover a matrix enriched with iron oxides, with a clear color contrast and a rare provenance that increases its aesthetic value and mineralogical importance.
The sample stands out for the quality of crystallization and for the overall aesthetic balance, with features that enhance its natural structure and visual impact.
Pyromorphite is a lead chlorophosphate that forms in the oxidation zone of lead ore deposits, often associated with limonite and other secondary lead minerals. Its intense green color is linked to the chemical composition of the species, which can vary from yellow to brown depending on substitutions present in the crystal lattice. The Saint-Salvy-de-la-Balme mine, historically known mainly for zinc and germanium, represents an unusual and uncommon provenance for high-quality pyromorphite collectible specimens.
This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also in the context of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species.
All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, except for very rare exceptions always noted in the description. The photographs are taken with professional lighting to best enhance colors and details; however, slight tonal variations may occur depending on the device or ambient light.
Shipping is carried out via reliable and selected express couriers, with fast delivery (in many cases 1-2 working days in Europe), tracked and insured shipping and professional, safe packaging, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries can also occur the day after payment depending on the destination.
It is possible to accumulate multiple purchases and receive them in a single shipment, even from auctions with different deadlines, simply contact us to organize the consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
