Magnificent, lustrous, light to dark, pinkish clove-brown Pyromorphite crystals cover the majority of the display face of this good-sized cabinet specimen from the Kintore Opencut at Broken Hill in New South Wales, Australia. The Pyromorphite crystals measure to around 1 cm and cover a mostly altered Galena matrix together with tiny crystals of Spessartine. The Kintore Open Cut was named for the old Kintore shaft which was originally part of the Central mine. The name Kintore probably derives from the village of the same name, 13 miles north west of Aberdeen in Scotland, but this has yet to be confirmed. Collecting in the Kintore Opencut was allowed over a short period from the late 1980s until 1996.
