Les Farges Mine, Ussel, Correze, Limousin, France
Small Cabinet, 9.2 x 5.1 x 2.4 cm
SOLD
A classic, very rich, and beautiful specimen from the Les Farges Mine of France. Lustrous, "wet-look," apple-green pyromorphite prisms to 7 mm cover the sculptural baryte matrix plate. Most of the tapering prisms are hoppered and the preferential coating of iron oxides is a nice accent. Les Farges has been closed since 1981. Ex. Jamie Bird Collection.
