Item Description

This specimen from the famous Broken Hill mine has an incredibly rich coating of the lead mineral Minium. Almost one entire side is coated with this intense, reddish-orange lead oxide. There are also brown micro crystals in the crevices on the reverse side. Highly representative of the species and the locality, this is a lot of color and impact for what it is
