Item Description

A sculptural and rich small cabinet from the famous 2008 finds at Mina Ojuela. Sharp, highly lustrus, translucent, butterscotch-colored pseudocubic wulfenite prisms are richly and dramatically clustered on the sturdy 3-dimensional gossan matrix. The two largest crystals, 1.3 and 1.4 cm, are doubly terminated. The "arm" with the largest crystals is particularly noteworthy. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only a bit of bruising at the top of the mound to smaller crystals. A very fine 360-degree example of the desirable varietal and famed locale. Valued at $750-900.
