MSW2506: Large Plumbogummite After Pyromorphite - China Fluorescent Mineral
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4371582 |
Large Plumbogummite after Pyromorphite Yangshuo Mine, China - Amazing color contrasts MW These pieces are found in a hydrothermal lead-zinc deposit, hosted in limestone and sandstone with granite intrusions. Two mines operate in the a...rea and there might be some confusion about the exact mine - the Daoping and Yangshuo mines, connected underground. Plumbogummite is a rare secondary lead phosphate mineral coating bright yellow pyromorphite crystals.Exceptional color under midwave (MW) UV, duller under SW, with no response LW. This is one of the few fluorescent mineral specimens that is absolutely best under MW. Add some SW if you like for added pzazz in the green areas.These pieces are VERY selective. I went through dozens to select the best examples of fluorescence. Some don’t fluoresce at all. Winning bidder: Right-click on ID card below to print (or save) for your records
