Watch a video of this specimen by following the Vimeo link below: https://vimeo.com/1168548840/28e2761139 Here is an excellent specimen of blue botryoidal plumbogummite perimorphing green pyromorphite. This deep blue stalactite formation is unique from the 2000s-2010s discoveries in the Laohuan Mine. Mindat: This locality has long been disputed but according to the article "Plumbogummit und Pyromorphit aus Guangxi/China" by Berthold Ottens in the German Lapis magazine issue of December 2014, p.12-22, ALL Chinese Plumbogummite specimens that are currently available on the open market are from an unnamed Baryte mine on the slopes of Laohu Hill in Gongcheng Co. All others, either labelled Daoping mine or Yangshuo mine are mislabelled.
