Description

The specimen is a remarkable piece of mineral history! Pyromorphite from the Phoenixville Mining District in Chester County, Pennsylvania, is highly prized among collectors due to its historical significance and vibrant lime-green crystals. Key Details: • Mineral: Pyromorphite • Locality: Phoenixville Mining District, Chester County, Pennsylvania • Collection: Morris Museum of Arts and Sciences, Geology Department • Weight: 82.29 grams • Era: Mining activity peaked in the 1850s, with operations ceasing around 1870 Phoenixville mines were primarily known for lead extraction, and pyromorphite specimens from this region are considered exceptional due to their rich color and well-formed crystals. Given the mines’ closure in the 19th century, pieces from this locality are now rare and highly collectible. If you’re considering acquiring this piece, it’s not just a beautiful mineral but also a tangible connection to Pennsylvania mining heritage.
