Item Description

Bright, translucent, yellowish-orange Wulfenite crystals in an unusual prismatic tetragonal habit measuring up to 4 mm along with rich green spherical Mimetite measuring up to 6 mm across on a matrix of limonite gossan from the classic locality at Mapimi. This material is fairly common on the market these days, but it's really gorgeous, and it will not be around forever, so don't miss out. There are a few contacts, but the piece is still very showy and eye-catching. For those of you who remember the abundance of yellow Adamites from Mapimi on the market in the 1970s, look at how they have appreciated in value over the years!
