Mined from: Little Giant Mine, Mullan, Idaho

Description: This Pyromorphite specimen from the historic Little Giant Mine in Mullan, Idaho, showcases vibrant, mossy green crystal clusters with a waxy to resinous luster that seems to glow from within. Often forming as hexagonal prisms or bubbly, botryoidal masses, pyromorphite is a lead chlorophosphate mineral that thrives in the oxidized zones of lead ore deposits. This piece is a textbook example of Idaho pyromorphite, with sharply defined crystals and a saturated color that makes it a standout for collectors of American classics.

Chemically, Pyromorphite is classified as Pb₅(PO₄)₃Cl, and it's part of the apatite group of minerals. The Little Giant Mine, located in the Coeur d’Alene Mining District, has been a renowned source of fine mineral specimens since the late 19th century, particularly for lead and silver ores. Though mining has long since ceased, specimens like this preserve the legacy of one of the most productive mining regions in North America. The vibrant green color is due to trace elements and the lead-rich environment in which the crystals formed.

Metaphysically, pyromorphite is considered a stone of renewal and motivation. It's said to assist in breaking stagnation and sparking creativity, making it a favorite among those seeking change or reawakening. Whether displayed as a geological treasure or used as a personal totem, this pyromorphite from Mullan carries both the rich history of Idaho’s mining heritage and the energetic spark of transformation.
