Description
Delicate sample of acicular pyromorphite of a green “meadow” and very brilliant characteristic of its locality: the mine of Saint Salvy, near Castres, in the Tarn.
The Saint-Salvy-de-la-Balme mine, in operation from 1974 to 1993, was a mine exploited mainly for zinc, but also for germanium and silver.
A real jewel !
