A stunning, deep orange specimen of the very best and most colorful variety from Bunker Hill, which in turn is simply the best orange arsenian pyromorphite on earth as well. The luster on this one is fantastic! You cannot get better in this size class, honestly. Jack purchased this from the legendary dealer A.L. McGuiness in 1982, the year they came to market. It has been with him since. Donation from the Jack Halpern Collection. Photos by Tom Campbell. Complete all around, and competitive-level, this is valued $5000-6000.
Donated by Rob Lavinsky with Jack Halpern
