Pyromorphite crystal specimen from Rosenberg mine. It displays crystals up to more than 1 cm of a most desirable deep green. These pieces came out during the late 1800's and are very hard to find in any quality today. The green pyromorphites were outnumbered by far by the well known brown pyromorphites of this mine. Green specimens were much rarer ...

A group of brown (daylight) Pyromorphite crystals to 1 cm. in length forming a cluster, fluorescing under Mid-Range Ultraviolet Light. The fluorescence in this specimen is noticably brighest under midwave U.V., and fluoresces in a particularily attractive shade of butter-orange, with zoning parallel to the crystals.

Excellent miniature of the rarer green barrel shaped pyromorphites from the Rosenberg mine. In contrary to the quite abundant brown pyromorphites from this locality - and a lot of them came out in the first half of the 20th century - the green ones were more scarce and most have been found in the late 1800s. M. Ochel collection, R. Lang ...

Pyromorphite Rosenberg Mine, Bad Ems, Rhineland-Palatineate, Germany. Here is a well balanced piece from Bad Ems. It hosts numerous terminated crystals that reach just over 1 cm. This habit occasionally makes it to the market, but rarely in this size. More often, you see single crystals, off matrix.
