Wire transfers available, to set up
A magnificent cabinet specimen of lime and oil green Pyromorphite crystals on black Coronadite from the MMM mine at Broken Hill in New South Wales, Australia. The approximately 9 x 8 cm triangular display face is three-quarters covered with delicate acicular Pyromorphite crystals and a roughly 3 x 3 cm uncovered area of silvery black Coronadite. The Pyromorphite distinctly divides into two phases or groups: smaller, fine acicular yellowish lime green crystals and larger, oil green hexagonal prisms, typically with simple hopper terminations. The smaller crystals average, say, 2 to 3 mm while the larger are about 8 mm, with taller exceptions. Coronadite is a lead-manganese oxide-hydroxide. Both Pyromorphite and Coronadite are well-known minerals from the Broken Hill mines. Many micro-crystals of Pyromorphite covering the area of Coronadite are coated in a thin black film of Coronadite. A very fine cabinet specimen of lime and oil green Pyromorphite on Coronadite from the MMM mine at Broken Hill.
