USA-29
Pyromorphite
Wheatley Mine, Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, USA
Miniature, 5.5 x 4.0 x 2.3 cm
Ex. Karl Warning
SOLD

This unusually 3-dimensional specimen from the classic old lead mines of Phoenixville is a very aesthetic miniature with crystals to 8 mm (large for locality). The color is a good forest green, and the luster is medium, again pretty typical for the locality. The sprays of crystals atop are wraparound, enveloping the top of the specimen and shooting off the backside as well. Ex. Karl Warning collection (a fellow collector and friend here in Dallas, for whom I am selling it). For the price, I think it would be challenging to find a better one in this size and quality range.
