Item Description
An attractive cabinet sized piece of Pyromorphite from the Mount Bonnie Mine dating back to the early 1970s. It has been questioned as to whether or not Pyromorphite has truly been confirmed from this locality, but I found a specimen on mindat.org (that honestly looks quite similar to the piece we're offering here) from Demetrius Pohl that says the Pyromorphite crystals were analyzed and confirmed via XRF. See https://www.mindat.org/photo-1154429.html for comparison. This piece is filled with sharp, well-formed, lustrous, prismatic hexagonal crystals measuring up to 4 mm with a tan-brown hue, associated with contrasting green Duftite sitting on gossan matrix. Very attractive up close, and we've photographed the piece with a macro lens to better illustrate the quality. A great specimen of this now very hard to find material, with an old label from the 1970s.
