Pyromorphite on Malachite

A magnificent museum grade large cabinet specimen of Pyromorphite on Malachite from the world famous deposit at Rum Jungle in Northern Territory, Australia. Although both common minerals, once combined there is no mistaking where they originate and simply exude Rum Jungle and hardly requiring a label! With an overall size of 20.5 x 13.5 x 13.5 cm, this is of museum display size yet would look even more impressive in a private mineral display, simply because of its size and quality. Botryoidal Malachite mounds averaging about 5 mm in diameter form a roughly triangular specimen with two thirds of the Malachite encrusted with yellowish-lime green micro-crystals of Pyromorphite. The back of the specimen has a rusty brown limonitic type coating. What more can be said than sublime!
