Description from the seller

Watch a video of this specimen by following the Vimeo link below: https://vimeo.com/1118564584/94d37f1b11

Chaillac is one of the three major pyromorphite deposits in France, along with Les Farges and St Salvy, although the fine specimens are very scarce on the market.

This is a superb, delicate, sparkling pyromorphite treasure from Le Rossignol mine, displaying glossy vivid green crystals scattered over a baryte-fluorite breccia matrix!
Note the elongated stalactites made up for multiple acicular crystals, just excellent!

You can also see some crystals display colour zoning, with grass green core and slightly orange cap.

A pyromorphite of the finest quality from France!
