Description

Rich coverage of sharp, speer shaped pyromorphites from this renowned locality in Pennsylvania. Hundreds of aggregates elegantly cover most of the primary surface. The previous owner told me that there are some submillimetric blocky wulfenite crystals scattered here and there, which apparently are very rare at this locality, although I could not locate them.

Rich miniature from this old, renowned PA locality. The mine's last activity is dated back to the early 20th century. I am not sure whether it was possible to extract further specimens after its closure.
