Item Description

Two-toned, lustrous, translucent, butterscotch-colored, pseudocubic wulfenite crystals to 1.4 cm (doubly terminated) richly and aesthetically cover the undulating mounded sturdy small cabinet gossan matrix. This is a sculptural and excellent two-sided combination from the famous 2008 find at Mina Ojuela. The piece is richly peppered with clusters of tiny glassy dogtooth calcites crystals (unique to the find), which adds sparkle and contrast. This impressive and excellent two-sided combination is essentially pristine. Valued at $500-700 for size, quality and richness and the piece displays well without aid.
