#3 - 8.7x5.4MM - This specimen was part of Roger Harkers collection and has three of his labels glued to the perky box it comes mounted in.

Pyromorphite is a lead chlorophosphate mineral and should be considered toxic. This is a small mineral specimen and I highly recommend magnification for viewing, ideally at least 10-20x.
