RDN30 Pyromorphite
Seigoritani Adit, Kamioka mine, Hida City, Gifu Prefecture, Chubu Region, Honshu Island, Japan
2.8x 2.6x 2.0 cm
$165

Another Japanese pyromorphite, this one from the Seigoritani Adit of the Kamioka mine.  I've seen a few pieces attributed to Kamioka in the past, but never one to this adit.

It is not a spectacular pyromorphite by any definition of the word, but as an ex-pyromorphite collector, I have to say these Japanese examples are incredibly hard to get, particularly as anything more than a small box full of loose crystals.

An interesting locality piece, for the pyromorphite collector.
