Pyromorphite, mimetite, and vanadinite are striking minerals found in lead ore deposits. They were occasionally mined as ore, but above all, they are highly sought-after collector's items. Their vibrant green, radiant orange, and brilliant red hues always immediately catch the eye.
Crystals up to several centimeters in size, in an unusual variety of colors, outstanding sharp-edged or unusually barrel-shaped crystals, and the often attractive structure of their mineral specimens make this mineral group the aesthetic center of a special mineral collection.
This extra Lapis highlights the diversity of shapes, colors and locations of these particularly aesthetic minerals, and shows which locations produced which special features at which times - overall a comprehensive documentation with many excellent color photos of pyromorphite, mimetite and vanadinite.
This mineral group is so attractive that collectors even create specialized collections. The author of this extraLapis is one of them and possesses an exceptionally good collection, encompassing every type of mineral and every possible location.
