{"title":"Pyromorphite","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePyromorphite\u003c\/strong\u003e is a lead chlorophosphate mineral, Pb₅(PO₄)₃Cl, prized by collectors for its brilliant hexagonal crystals in shades of apple-green, honey-yellow, orange, and brown. It forms as a secondary mineral in the oxidised zones of lead-bearing veins, typically alongside galena, cerussite, mimetite, and vanadinite, of which it is isostructural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClassic localities have shaped its reputation for over two centuries. The \u003cstrong\u003eBad Ems District\u003c\/strong\u003e in Germany is the type-defining locality, producing stubby brownish barrel-shaped crystals known as \"Emser Barrels.\" The \u003cstrong\u003eLes Farges Mine\u003c\/strong\u003e in Corrèze, France, is legendary for deep green, needle-like and barrel-shaped crystals on baryte matrix, while the \u003cstrong\u003eBunker Hill Mine\u003c\/strong\u003e in Idaho, USA, yielded honey-yellow to bright green crystal clusters that remain American classics.
