A superb, two-sided pyromorphite specimen from the famous mid-1980s finds at the Bunker Hill Mine. The "A" side features lustrous, wet-look, 3-dimensional, botryoidal, orange, arsenian pyromorphite covered with a 2nd generation of tiny, yellow-green pyromorphite prisms and highlighted on the upper right with a fringe of larger, classic, lime-green pyromorphite prisms. Side "B" is distinctly different with a fine cluster of wet-look, honey-brown prisms to 8 mm on a crust of smaller, lime-green prisms and another generation of sparkly, brown microcrystals. Ex. Dave Stoudt Collection and according to their catalogue, purchased from deceased mineral dealer Bob Sullivan in 1994.
