Item Description

Juicy, wet-look, pyromorphite prisms are festooned on the mounded matrix on this excellent and uncommon example from the famous early 1980s finds the famed Bunker Hill Mine. The honey-brown barrrels have striking, gemmy, mustard-yellow tips and many of the crystals are hoppered. The barrels reach 9 mm. A modest bit of periphery wear is noted, but is certainly a minor detraction to this very fine specimen. Gemmy crystals like this were not that common from these finds. Ex Howard Belsky Collection.
