A gleaming miniature arsenian (orange) pyromorphite from the Bunker Hill Mine, with a candy-like, almost wet-looking luster. The luster is superb. The color is due to higher amounts of arsenic in the formation of the crystals. These rounded crystals are in pristine condition, and the overall form of this miniature is quite attractive and 3-dimensional as well.
