Item Description

Highly lustrous, beautiful "sandwich-style", thin tabular butterscotch wulfenite crystals are richly and attractively clustered on the contrasting white matrix covered with endlichite (arsentian vanadinite) on this showy and classic specimen from famed Los Lamentos. The large wulfie is 1.5 cm. The few bruised and broken crystals are noted, but this remains an excellent and highly representative example of the style and locality from a lead minerals collection. Old-time material from the 1960s or 70s. The piece looks good from either direction.
