Arsenian Pyromorphite ex Jack Halpern Collection

Item Description

The Bunker Hill Mine in Idaho is surely the greatest location for outstanding Pyromorphite specimens. Within that pantheon, the bright and lustrous orange balls of Arsenian Pyromorphite stand out and are highly coveted. The botryoidal growth, which is not that common, is intensely colored, with just a slight hint of green and yellow that add to the piece. Old material, classics such as this are hard to find.These round, wet-looking, fiery-red-orange bubbly pyromorphites were only found one time, in the early 1990s, in a single zone of the mineThere are numerous references to Jack and his collection in print, but perhaps a good tour of the collection and its history will help give perspective on just how good, and important, this collection is: https://www.irocks.com/the-jac...
