Broken Hill Minerals, Thumbnails
Size- Boxes are 3.5cm x 3.5cm
A collection of 30 thumbnail sized specimans from several different Broken Hill mines. Most minerals are 2 to 3 cm across. The mines are MMM, Kintore, Block 14 and Blackwood opencuts, all are now finished and closed, so no more specimans will ever come out. Some of these will make good micro material and some will no doubt have other minerals on them as well. Most occur as crystals except a few. The minerals include:
1x Neotocite/Hisingerite
3x Spessartine (red garnets)
4x Anglesite
8x Galena (cubic)
4x Pyromorphite , yellow & 1 brown
3x Coronadinite
2x Smithsonite on Brown Pyromorphite
3x Cerussite
1x Sphalerite
1x Smithsonite
