Re-Rediscovery of Wheatley Mine Pyromorphite Specimens from the Personal Collection of Charles Moore Wheatley

摘要

Recently, several specimens of Wheatley Mine pyromorphite came to light while helping to clean out the personal effects of a lifelong mining geologist, recently passed, 102-year old Ray Robinson. Initially little attention was paid to the small box as upon a cursory inspection, nothing remarkable was noted, save the date on the box: 1936.
