Item Description

A classic, very rich and showy arsenian pyromorphite from the famous Bunker Hill Mine. Scintillating, juicy rich orange spherical aggregates of pyromorphite prisms cover the front and part of the back of the sculptural partially hollow crust. A second generation of tiny sparkly honey-yellow prisms cover a portion of the front and add character. A small ding noted in the center of the front has minimal impact to the overall richness and excellence of this highly representative example of this desirable varietal from the Joe Lobell Collection. This is a rich orange color for the varietal. Valued at $250 by the former dealer.
