SOLD
A lot less well-known than the Bunker Hill Mine is the Little Giant, also in Shoshone County, which also turned out pyromophites, often quite different in appearance. They are far rarer on the market than Bunker Hill pyromorphites! The mine officially closed more than a century ago. This rich specimen has a brushy or flowery appearance, with multiply-terminated, olive-green compound crystals densely covering the matrix.
