Item Description

This is a wonderful Wulfenite specimen from this historic locality. It features a glowing orange color, sharp, lustrous, thick tabular crystal of Wulfenite measuring 1.0 cm sitting on a layer of greenish Descloizite on gossan matrix. The main Wulfenite is actually a composite crystal as there are a few crystals intergrown to make one larger crystal. A smaller sidecar crystal can be seen just off the main Wulfenite. No damage that I can see with the naked eye. TOP color for the material, and these are probably the thickest Wulfenite crystals from any world locality. The piece comes with a label from Gary Hansen dating back a few decades.
