Item Description

A dramatic 3.3 cm strikingly hoppered compound pyromorphite crystal dominates this sculptural and aesthetic richly crystallized 360-degree miniature from the well-known 1990s finds at the renowned Bunker Hill Mine. The very juicy translucent textbook hexagonal prisms are yellow-green at the top with some of the many crystals at the base grading to a darker hue. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. A few prisms may be contacted, it's really hard to tell, and it looks like there is no damage. A classic and very artistic 360-degree miniature example of this varietal. From the collection of former mine owner Bob Hopper.
