The needle-like crystals to 3mm Pyromorphite crystals in the many vugs of this Barite specimen are a dull green. They are not as green as the digital camera depicts them (we do not photo shop our photos, unless the difference is extreme). Still, a good specimen for this locality - so hard to obtain on the mineral market.
