This specimen comes from an old German mineral collection.

Pyromorphite - Grube Ferdinande 

This pyromorphite specimen comes from the historic Ferdinande pit. The site is one of the classic German localities for secondary lead minerals and is particularly well-known among collectors for its intensely coloured and well-crystallized pyromorphites.

Crystal form and structure

The piece shows numerous prismatic pyromorphite crystals, which sit closely together on the matrix. Their surfaces are shiny to slightly frosted, which lends depth and complexity to the overall appearance. The crystals are well formed, partially transparent and offer an attractive texture.

Coloring and aesthetic impression

The color varies from a rich apple green to olive green tones - a typical characteristic coloring for pyromorphite from this deposit. The vibrant play of colors, paired with the fine crystal structure, makes the piece a real eye-catcher in any display case.

A classic among German minerals

Pyromorphite from the Ferdinande mine is one of the sought-after classics of German mineralogy. The mine has long since closed, which makes the specimens still available on the market all the more valuable. This specimen combines aesthetic quality with geological significance - a must for the discerning collector.
