Item Description
Aesthetic, sculptural, rich multi-generational pyromorphite from the 1990s finds at this world-class locale. Striking radial sprays of smaller hexagonal prisms are surrounded on three sides by larger crystals. All of the sparkly, juicy, translucent crystals have beautiful variable and desirable yellow-green color. Edge crystals are up to 1.3 cm long and some have hoppered terminations. The striking miniature resembles a corsage attached to the small matrix stem in one of the many excellent views. This is a very fine, artistic, 360-degree specimen, that is nearly pristine, with only a few small hard-to-see broken crystals in the interior and two trivial spots of periphery wear. Classic and excellent Bunker Hill pyromorphite of this style and era valued at $1000.
