Item Description
A wonderful old-time specimen of Pyromorphite from the Pyromorphite lode of the Zeehan Queen Mine in Tasmania, Australia featuring attractive micro crystals of olive-green Pyromorphite on oxidized matrix. The crystals are best seen under magnification, and we've photographed them with a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to better illustrate the quality. From the worldwide mineral collection of Albert Lewis Kidwell (January 1, 1919 - August 16, 2008). Al was a well-known mineral collector and research geologist with Carter Oil Company and later Exxon Oil Company in Houston, Texas. The phosphate species Kidwellite was named in his honor in 1974.
