Some of the finest known examples of Pyromorphite come from The Bunker Hill Mine. Specimens were collected in a multitude of colors, mainly within the orange, yellow, and green spectrum. This example shows mounds of crystals with both orange and yellow-green color and high lustre. Large mounds of spherical orange arsenian Pyromorphite form the base with yellow, curved, barrel-shaped crystals on top. Minor damage to a few of the crystals. Essentially solid Pyromorphite, valued at $250.
