5.0 x 4.0 x 3.3 cm. This historic specimen is from the 9th level of the Bunker Hill, which had long ago been mined out by the early 1900s but was still accessible to collectors who knew their way around when this mine itself was accessible. A local collector went in and found this, he related, in the 1960s. It is an unusually aesthetic and display-quality specimen for a Bunker Hill cerussite, more reminiscent of material from Tsumeb or Tiger in Arizona than from anywhere else.
