Daoping Mine, Guilin Prefecture, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China

2.4 x 2.4 x 1.5 cm.

The Daoping mine is China's premier locality for world-class Pyromorphite crystals.  The amazing thing is that amongst the multitude of Pyromorphite to be found from this all-but-defunct location there were a small number of extremely large (for the species) single crystals.  These chunky single crystal specimens made their debut at Tucson in 2008 and were quickly bought by savvy collectors.

Amelia Mine, Boleo District, Santa Rosalía, Municipio de Mulegé, Baja California Sur, Mexico
