Pyromorphite

Before Bunker Hill, the Wheatley (lead) Mine was probably the most famous pyromorphite locality in the US until Bunker Hill came along, and it’s still one of my favorite localities. The crystals are bright and rich green covering a limonite matrix. As with many Phoenixville specimen, some crystals are damaged, but the overall look is good. An eastern US classic.
