Item Description

A glorious old wulfenite miniature from the famed Red Cloud Mine. A stunning large 3.2 cm, two-sided blade is dramatically and aethetically set on the gossan matrix plate. The glassy, highly lustrous, sculptural compound crystal has superlative rich reddish-orange color with flashes of orange gemminess. The crystal GLOWS, when back lit! The top and back have classic beveled edges. The front edge is lightly contacted, with a bit of attached matrix, but there is only trivial bruising. This is an exceptionally large and outstanding 360-degree crystal from old 1960s-70s finds at the Red Cloud. An important and significant large old Red Cloud wulfenite crystal valued at $2500-3000.
