Item Description
A superb and aesthetic Bunker Hill pyromorphite from the famed 1980s finds. Considered to be some of the finest pyromorphites in the world, this is an outstanding example. Juicy, translucent, isolated yellow-green barrels strikingly course across the crest of the concave gossan crust. The two largest crystals are hoppered and reach 1.8 cm. These crystals display fabulously from either side and the photos cannot truly convey the rich, juicy color, luster and amazing translucence. Pristine. Obtained in large trade, Bunker Hill pieces of this very high quality are normally reserved for Gallery. A MAJOR pre-Tucson spiker. Undoubtably, the finest Bunker Hill pyro we have offered at auction and a superb piece for any collection. Enjoy. Valued at $2500.
