Description

Botryoidal formations of greyish-green plumbogummite and white kaolinite, on a crust of blue radiated plumbogummite after greenish pyromorphite crystals. Under shortwave UV light, there are numerous areas of the matrix of strong green UV colour, likely opal-CT, and orange radial crystals of orange colour, that are rest of the original pyromorphite crystals, yet not replaced to plumbogummite.

From a recent find in 2024, it was analysed by the finders, and some cavities could have some hindsalite and kintoreite. Scarce material in the market, this piece is of a quite good size, considering what it is available on the market.
