Absolutely nice miniatures and thumbnail.
The rhodocrosite and the wulfenite are amazing.

Pyromorphite
Bunker Hill Mine, Bunker Hill properties, Kellogg, Coeur d'Alene District, Shoshone County, Idaho, USA
Roughly 4 x 2.5 cm | Another great specimen, very impressive, well-defined "mass" of pyromorphite from one of the most desired localities. I love the different colours on that specimen that change from dark yellow to brown. And though you never mentioned that you love pyromorphite, it becomes obvious when you show specimens like that ;-)

If the specimen has a SHM number on the bottom, you can contact Steve or Richard at Collector's Edge, and they should be able to tell you pocket name and date extracted.

By the way, VERY NICE SPECIMEN!!!
