Hi Benjamin. Nice torbernite. I'd be proud to own it and/or fondle it.
All best wishes,
Ed in Kingman

Some galena pseudomorph after pyromorphite…
| Mineral: | Galena after Pyromorphite |

| Mineral: | Galena after Pyromorphite |
| Locality: | | Huelgoat, Châteaulin, Finistère, Brittany/Bretagne, France | |
|
| Dimensions: | 3,5 x 2 cm |
| Description: |
| This 18th century sample had a good life : it belonged to the mineralogist Ferdinand Gonnard (1833-1923), who then donated it to the Ecole des Mines (Mines School of Paris). The latter separated from it and had to be transmitted between collectors. The sample landed in England to Ian Bruce, through her company Crystal Classics. It then passed through several French collectors of lead minerals. It was exhibited at the 2019 SMAM exhibition of lead minerals. The only downside: very fragile species because of the pyrite, but it seems to resist! It also has 9 labels (including 4, just for Crystal Classics!), notably the old labels of Gonnard and that of the SMAM exhibition (sorry for my English^^). |

Congratulations. Great specimen.

Thank you so much Don Lum ! It was a dream to have these minerals, (very long time of research^^). Bought last week from other French collectors of lead ;-)

An "Azurite flower" (very rare !) from Chessy-les-Mines, Beaujolais wineyard, Rhône, FRANCE. The crystals are flat, with an intense midnight blue and very shiny, because preserved in Halloysite (white), and coming from the period of exploitation of the "Blue Mine" (19th century). This specimen comes from the collection of Émile-Auguste Doumet (1796–1869), from the same family as the botanist Adanson, himself a mineral collector. From the collection of Dr. E. Asselborn. Now in my collection. My favorite specimen of SMAM 2022
