Here is a large and rich, very unusual Bunker Hill pyromorphite specimen. What you have is a large, flat plate of matrix covered with these sparkly balls of orangey arsenian pyromorphite. the balls measure to around 1.8 cm. Their centers are a deep, orpiment-like color, with little crystals terminating around the peripheries of a lighter, more amber color, creating a two-toned effect (all color to arsenic content in the pyromorphite itself) .
