TG47AL6: Galena after Pyromorphite (variety sexangulite)

Galena pseudomorphs after a group of prismatic Pyromorphite crystals, one of them clearly dominant. As can be seen by the tiny cleavages at the base of the specimen, the substitution of Pyromorphite by Galena is complete. A great French classic, very hard to come by.
Huelgoat, Châteaulin, Finistère, Brittany/Bretagne France
Specimen size: 2 × 1.4 × 1 cm = 0.79” × 0.55” × 0.39”
Price: [SOLD]

EMJ49AQ1: Galena after Pyromorphite (variety sexangulite)

Galena pseudomorphs after Pyromorphite (sexangulite variety) Aerial prismatic crystals of Pyromorphite pseudomorphed by Galena (variety sexangulite), on matrix. An old specimen, a rarity with "pedigree" and subjected to numerous avatars, as evidenced by the extensive accompanying labels. From the collection of Ferdinand Gonnard it went to the École de Mines in Paris, and from there to a German collector whose name was not preserved, to be, later, commercialized and passed successively to Frédéric Bonnet, Maxime Tomljanovic, Thierry Buléon, and Benjamín Carballo. This type of specimen is so difficult to obtain that it is not surprising that it moved through so many collections.
Huelgoat, Châteaulin, Finistère, Brittany/Bretagne France
Specimen size: 3.6 × 2.6 × 1.8 cm = 1.42” × 1.02” × 0.71”

Main crystal size: 0.5 × 0.4 cm = 0.20” × 0.16”
