Wulfenite with Dolomite

Item Description

Good Tsumeb wulfenites are not easy to come by and this is an excellent combination example. Wulfenite is a favorite among Tsumeb collectors as occurs in various colors, sometimes with water clear crystals that show wonderful internal brilliance. Most Wulfenite is tabular from Tsumeb, like the majority of worlwide Wulfenites, but there's something about the Tsumeb pieces that makes them so distinctive and desirable. This piece is features a stout, fairly thick, 1.3 cm sharp, lustrous, very gemmy, orange golden color tabular crystal of Wulfenite sitting aesthetically on minor matrix with additional Wulfenite crystals and minor Dolomite. As is the case with a lot of Tsumeb Wulfenites, the piece does have a few nicks, but keep in mind that it's extremely difficult to find absolutely pristine Wulfenites from this locality. Overall the piece is still very good quality, especially when you consider the color and the clarity of the crystals against most Wulfenites from around the world.
