6hlkmns ((PYROMORPHITE on QUARTZ)) $25 MINIMUM BID, New Chester County Mine, Phoenixville, Chester County, Pennsylvania, 8 x 7 x 6 cm, Cabinet | |
This aesthetic specimen was collected on the dumps several years ago. East coast dumps are covered with vegetation unlike the western dumps that may only have a little sage brush. The iron staining makes the Quartz look like Citrine. There are small clusters of green hexagonal prisms of Pyromorphite on the yellow brown Quartz on the left and right sides. |
