This specimen, at nearly 4 inches, is a great example of the style of green pyromorphite that came out in about 2003-2005 from China. Amidst many habits and pockets, this particular style acquired a nickname as "Les Farges green" because the crystals in habit looked like the classic material from France. The luster was also close, a slightly waxy look to it. In color, these are not quite the rich dark apple-green intensity of the best Les Farges material, but come close enough to compare. On this piece, such short, prismatic, lustrous, apple-green crystals of pyromorphite, to 1 cm in length, grow inward into a protected cavity. The matrix is composed of massive pyromorphite behind it.
