Item Description

Three generations of sparkly to lustrous pyromorphite cover this sculptural crust from the 1990s finds at the famous Bunker Hill Mine. The striking, large barrels dominating the skyline are honey-brown and reach 7 mm. A band of smaller, pretty golden-yellow prisms underlies or is adjacent to the larger crystals. Sparkly, tiny, orange arsenian crystals are at the base of the piece. The presentation face is nearly pristine, with only two small spots of trivial bruising. Classic, excellent and showy multi-generational pyromorphite from this renowned locale with artistic layered form. valued $800
