Description

An attractive group of crystals of plumbogummite partially to fully pseudomorphed after pyromorphite. The original pyromorphite crystals had hollowed centres. The largest crystal (right-hand side) is terminated and in a couple of places the plumbogummite layer is no longer present, so the underlying green pyromorphite is seen in thoe spots. However for the most part the surfaces of this specimen are plumbogummite. A nice specimen from this unusual occurrence!
