Minas de El Horcajo will forever be associated with legendary Pyromorphites. Hearing or reading this name transports us to a mineralogical myth, often a source of desire. At the beginning of the 20th century, the El Horcajo mine produced excellent specimens of Pyromorphites of various shapes and colors. It is exciting to be able to offer a number of this type of pieces past more than 100 years, a true oldie.
