Are you sure? It looks a lot like Pyromorphite...

I hope it is identified correctly. I trust Seetley minerals to have correctly identified and listed it. I was very excited to find it and discussed it with the proprietor, he was very knowledgeable
However. there is the remote possibility for them to misidentify but I hope not as I paid a premium for this specimen.
I have seen pyromorphites collected from this mine and they had the brighter yellower look rather like the material from the Mexico mine. This specimen has a dull sage colouration to it.
I will ask the proprietor to check the ID again as I will be attending the North of England mineral exposition and he has a stand at this event.
I do hope its correct as i really like this piece and material from Brandy gill is so hard to aquire.
