JFD18AN5: I have always been very fond of Saint-Salvy pyromorphites. They are one of my weaknesses in French mineralogy. They are very curious, labyrinthine, with all the little crystals clustering into tangles or hedgehogs. Due to their delicacy it is very difficult to find any that do not have any damaged crystals, which is why I liked this piece and kept it, for its perfection.
Saint-Salvy Mine, Saint-Salvy-de-la-Balme, Tarn, Occitanie France (±1980)
Specimen size: 7 × 5.6 × 2.8 cm = 2.76” × 2.20” × 1.10”
