A very lustrous, bubbly botryoidal crystalline yellow-orange Pyromorphite covering one side of a light coloured matrix. This folds over the matrix to the opposite side where the Pyromorphite becomes a buff-fawn, rich butterscotch. This is a truly magnificent miniature Pyromorphite from the iconic Bunker Hill mine at Kellogg, Idaho, USA. Bunker Hill was a true polymetallic mine having produced silver, lead, zinc, gold, copper, cadmium, antimony, cobalt, uranium and phosphorous. The deposit was discovered in 1885 by Noah S. Kellogg & his faithful donkey, with mining beginning the following year. Bunker Hill has become one of the world's most iconic sources of specimen grade Pyromorphite.
