Item Description

An exceptional and aesthetic old-time miniature cluster of bipyramidal wulfenite crystals from the famous Erupcion Mine at Los Lamentos. The lustrous and translucent, butterscotch-colored spikes reach 1.3 cm. Bipyramidal wulfenites are RARE and desirable, even to this day, compared to the normally seen tabular or blocky crystals. This is an exquisite and rare pristine two-sided miniature example of the small quantities that were recovered in the 1960s or early 70s.
