Group of crystals on matrix, with a very well marked barrel-shape and vivid orange color with the intense luster typical of this type of sample from the Bunker Hill Mine. As a rarity, we note a coating of a second generation of yellow crystals with a prismatic shape and very well marked curvatures of faces and edges. While this type of crystals is described as arsenical, nor by the bibliography or by analysis we have done previously, we know that this is so. The piece is from the Harjo Neutkens collection, whose label we’ll send to the buyer.
