Very bright lustrous lemon yellow to slightly fawn green coloured crystals of intergrown prismatic Pyromorphite measuring to 6 mm cover a rusty brown Goethite gossan matrix from the Bunker Hill mine in Idaho, USA. The Pyromorphite forms hexagonal prismatic crystals with flat pinacoid terminations and often form several stepped sub-terminations like a modern skyscraper building.
