Pyromorphite
Wheatley Mines
Phoenixville, Chester County, PA

This is a wonderful Pyromorphite from the Wheatley Mine in Phoenixville, PA. The Wheatley Mine is actually a series of lead, zinc mines in Pennsylvania. The mines consisted of the Wheatley Mine, the Chester County Mine, the Phoenix Mine, the Montgomery Mine, the Brookdale Mine and a few smaller claims that were all located on the same vein of ore. The Wheatley Mine was by far the most famous and productive mine. All are long closed and considered Classic localities. Today, collecting is restricted to the dumps of the Brookdale Mine which is now the property of the Pickering Country Club. It is a pay per entry site and a very popular collecting locality.

This specimen is actually attributed to the Chester County Mine. It is a very fine example of the pyromorphite that was recovered from these mines. The specimen measures 4.75" x 3.25" (12cm x 8cm).
