Lafayette Pyromorphite

[pegmatite]

I've been in the process of getting around to cleaning up some material
collected during this year's Clement Museum Show in Marion, Kentucky. Thought I'd share some photos of pyromorphite from the Lafayette Mine in Frances, Kentucky. These are all micros. So grateful for the Clement Museum making such collecting opportunities possible.

That is nice stuff. Have collected the pyro from PA. The contrast of the green on purple is NICE.

Nice, I love Pyro. I'm greedy can never get enough in my collection. You gave me another reason to make it down to Kentucky. Last time I went the tranny blew in my truck. Spent the week trout fishing in Ohio while the truck was in the shop.

Great pics there. I love pyromorphite. Only have specimens from Phoenixville Pa. While the specimens are larger than what you have there I do not think the quality is as good. At least what is found there now. have seen some specimens from a while back (20yrs or so) that are very cool. Great xls all of them. Size? a few mm or so I guess.

Those are great pics. They contrast greatly with the surrounding rock/min. Ththey are so vibrant They look superimposed. Great stuff!
