TC16 Pyromorphite on Galena
Broken Hill Mine, Yarcowinna Co., NSW, Australia
5.1x 2.3x 2.5 cm

Broken Hill has produced many "interesting pyromorphites," and this piece is no exception.  It consists of a galena matrix, whose surface has partially alrered to pyromorphite, with a second generation of galena crystals, whose surfaces have also altered to pyromorphite.

A very beautiful and odd example from the mine, for the collector of pyromorphite or Broken Hill minerals.
