This spectacular specimen from Yangshuo Mine, Guangxi Zhuang, China is a remarkable example of pseudomorph formation, where Plumbogummite has gradually replaced Pyromorphite, creating a stunning visual transformation. The contrast between the vibrant green Pyromorphite and the soft, sky-blue Plumbogummite makes this a truly extraordinary mineral specimen. Whether displayed in a private collection or a fine mineral gallery, this rare piece is an absolute showstopper.
Interesting Facts
Pseudomorphs occur when one mineral gradually replaces another, retaining the original crystal structure while altering its composition.
