Item Description

Juicy pyromorphite botryoids of two colors cover this showy and excellent plate from early 1990s finds at the famed Bunker Hill Mine. The upper half is covered with pretty yellow-green botryoids and the lower half is covered with arsenian-rich, orange botryoids. Bunker Hill has produced an amazing array of pyromorphite styles and colors and this is a fine combination example. The yellow-green botryoids are not that common from this find. Ex Harold Urish Collection and obtained on September 2, 1993.
