Harold Michel Collection
Harold Michel was a long-time collector and part time mineral dealer in the Phoenix area. He grew up in Kansas, but discovered minerals when he moved to Arizona and it became a passion for the rest of his life. He specialized in Arizona minerals, but had a fine suite from Colorado, a quartz collection, and numerous worldwide samples. The collection was well catalogued with cards carrying detailed information about each specimen.
This wonderful small miniature pyromorphite from the 1981 Bunker Hill mine discovery has the orange to green gradation and nicely curved crystal aggregates lacking in later finds.
