A huge plate of purple creedite, with crystals to 3.8 cm ! In fact, it is the single largest creedite of this color tha tI have seen, from all the find sat Mexico or Kazakhstan, of any high quality. There is admittedly some small , trivial damage at the edges, and to the lower part of the crystal cluster, but in context this is minimal and the piece is perhaps one of the more important examples of the species out there. It is dramatic and 3-dimensional, more so in person. It is also VERY much more deep purple than all but the very finest of Mexico material (and those have smaller crystals on smaller specimens, in any case). A significant rarity, from the collection of Marc Weill to me by exchange. I first saw the specimen in the late 90s and have remembered it ever since. To this day, I have not seen better

This is a historic classic recognizable by its style and form as being from the mid-1800s, or perhaps even earlier, from the Roughton Gill mining district. It has superb, elongated and twisting pyromorphite crystals to approx. 1.5 cm, covering the top display face of the specimen. These ar eperched upoin, smothering really, an underlaying earlier generation of orange-brown pyromorphite that provides a neat color contrast around the sides. The bottom is yet another generation of the fatter greenish crystals, classic for the locale. Though it has minor peripheral edge wear, this is overall in good shape and displays beautifully, especially for a "lovable old classic."
