We all have our favourite minerals for many different reasons. My favourite mineral is Pyromorphite. I think it's an understated beauty. Ok it's not a gemstone crystal but in my opinion some of the natural formations are just as spectacular as a faceted stone. I love the variation in colouration and lustre.

My particular favourite location is the material from the Caldbeck Fells, Cumbria, UK.
I have many specimens of pyromorphite in my collection and decided to post a few that I found interesting.

If you have information, localities or photographs of any interesting pyromorphite specimens please add them to this post. I would be very interested to see and learn.
