   Galena (var. Plumbeine) pseudomorph after PyromorphiteWheal Hope, Hendra Croft, Perranzabuloe, Cornwall, England, UK4.7cm x 3.5cm x 3.45cm       
Description/Interesting Notes: A magnificent example of this very rare and highly sought after pseudomorph from Cornwall!!! These incredible Cornishpseudomorphs date back to the late 1700's/early 1800's and are next to impossible to obtain today!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of elongated, ...prismatic crystals of what were once pyromorphite that have completely altered to galena!!! The sharply defined crystals are particularly robust and large for this material - ranging in size up to 2cm (and 8mm wide)!!!  The crystals exhibit sharp terminations and finely detailed features!!!  The incomplete crystals appear to have happened in situ (perhaps even prior to alteration) and exhibit fascinating minute crystalline features upon close inspetion with a loupe or scope!!!  This is a very fine and attractive example of this incredibly rare and sought after material!!!  This is old, institutional material and retains an affixed enamel catalogue number on the underside as well!!!  These Wheal Hope "Plumbeine" specimens are next to impossible to find - especially in such fine quality - don't miss out on this rare and valuable historic material!!!  The pics hardly do it justice!!!  Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
