Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Pyromorphite
Locality: Bunker Hill Mine (Tyler; Stemwinder; Bunker Hill and Sullivan; Bunker Chance Mine), Bunker Hill Properties, Kellogg, Coeur d'Alene District, Shoshone County, Idaho, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: small cabinet, 6.0 x 4.9 x 3.2 cm
Pyromorphite
This specimen is absolutely pristine, it has superb lustre (it looks wet!), and has a 3-dimensionality that you rarely see in Bunker Hill material of this color and style. The color is not purest yellow, as only some very few pieces are (and are more pricey, also), but rather a unique darker mustard-yellow color, and yet still lively and bright. It is not the beige or mauve tones, that mid 1990s material tended to possess, either. The specimen is from the important mid-1980s finds and was sold immediately at that time to the Bill and Carol Smith collection. When they started to deaccess some suites, it went to Dr. Steve Smale in the mid 1990s. He traded or sold it out in the late 1990s where it got to collector Sandor Fuss, who sold it in turn to Tom Hall. I have seen many of these over the years, and this one leaps out, for all the superlatives stated above. It is a special piece, not just another "good" example. Pristine and with good horizons all around, it can really be displayed from many angles. This is a killer small cab, of this American classic.
