Pyromorphite (4 generations)

Item Description

A very rich, interesting and colorful 4-generation, two-sided pyromorphite small cabinet from the famed Bunker Hill Mine. The impressive and rich front hosts three generations: classic, lustrous, juicy orange arsenian barrels, many with accenting hoppered terminations; orange barrels with a preferential microcrystalline overgrowth of tan pyromorphite; and scattered patches of yellow-green prisms on the edges. The back is dramatically different with two pyromorphite generations. Most of this face is covered with spherical aggregates on tiny, sparkly yellow-green pyromorphite spindles. Richer yellow-green prisms, similar to the ones on the front edges cover one edge of the back. Bright light brings out the rich hues of the crystals on this rich and showy specimen from the 1990s finds. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $175 for free. Valued at $1250.
