Pyromorphite

Locality: Broken Hill, Yancowinna Co., New South Wales, Australia

A gorgeous druse of tiny yellow and yellow-green acicular pyromorphite crystals on matrix from Broken Hill, Australia. This is classic Broken Hill pyromorphite and yellow pyromorphite is much less common and more desirable than the brown variety. Ex Chidley Collection. Very old Dr. Gary Hansen stock, as this piece has a "Hansens Hut" label, which dates to the late 60s to early 70s. 5.6 x 5.4 x 3.6 cm
