About Pyromorphite
Pyromorphite is a vivid lead phosphate chloride mineral displaying bright shades of green, yellow, orange, and brown in barrel-shaped hexagonal crystals with a resinous to adamantine luster. It forms as a secondary mineral in the oxidized zones of lead ore deposits and produces some of the most visually spectacular mineral specimens in the world, particularly from China, Germany, and Idaho, USA. Its intense colors and well-formed crystals make it a perennial favorite among collectors.
