.9" Lustrous Yellow-Green Pyromorphite Crystal Cluster - China
This is a .9" wide cluster lustrous, yellow-green pyromorphite crystals from the Yanhshuo mine in the Guangxi Zhaung Autonomous Region of China. It has been mounted to an acrylic display base with mineral tack.
Pyromorphite is a mineral species composed of lead chlorophosphate: Pb5(PO4)3Cl, sometimes occurring in sufficient abundance to be mined as an ore of lead. It forms small, hexagonal crystals ranging from dark green to yellow, to orange.
The lead in pyromorphite can be harmful if absorbed into the blood stream by inhalation or ingestion. The crystals won't pose a health hazard just sitting on a shelf but it would be recommended to wash your hands after handling.
