Item Description
An OUTSTANDING, very rich CABINET pyromorphite specimen from the MUCH less well-known and prolific Sherman Mine of Idaho, near the famous Bunker Hill Mine. Bundles of lustrous, olive-green to ochre-colored, hoppered, spindle-like prisms to 8 mm cover the sturdy, 3-dimensional, gossan matrix on this EXCELLENT specimen. This piece probably dates to the 1960s and is from the John Ydren Collection. SELDOM available in this quality. Valued $800-900
