The holy grail of pyromorphite collectors is a truly great Les Farges pyro of this classic, waxy-wet, dark evergreen color. They are "magically delicious" to collectors, and almost never seen on public sale, for that reason. These came out a long time ago and are now almost impossible to find on the market. This is the top and most desirable style for the material. I have seen a number of them over the years in major old collections, but only a handful have ever come up for sale. This specimen is a superb large miniature with outstanding aesthetics. It is almost pristine, with just a few trivial breaks amidst over a hundred fine crystals. Few are so 3-dimensional. This is complete all around and looks good from all sides! It is a superlative old classic and would be nearly impossible to replace, if you wanted a fine miniature example of this famous find. I have seen much lesser pieces at $10,000 already; and have seen at least one fairly comparable piece sell recently for slightly more than this amount. This is a top level miniature and fit for any collection of classics with beauty and aesthetics as a conjoined target. Joe Budd Photos. From a prominent European Collection.
