Item Description

A cute and aesthetic, three crystal, pyromorphite thumbnail from the famous Bunker Hill Mine. The crystals have the juicy, nearly gemmy, "wet-look" and are actually translucent. They are also bi-colored, having honey-yellow bodies and greenish-yellow, hoppered terminations. The striking central crystal is 2.3 cm and is doubly terminated. Complete all-around and pristine. A very fine thumbnail from the 1990s finds at this renowned pyromorphite locality from the Robert Whitmore Collection.
