Item Description

Large, stout, lustrous, translucent, butterscotch-colored pseudocubic wulfenite prisms are very aesthetically clustered on the sturdy 3-dimensional gossan matrix and are beautifully and richly accented with pearly white calcite rhombs and a few apple-green mimetite botryoids on one end. The large for the style and locale wulfies reach 1.3 cm. Pristine and looks great from either side. This is an outstanding small cabinet example with significant large pseudocubic wulfenite crystals. This very fine piece is from the 2008 find. The wulfenite, mimetite and calcite association was unique to this find. Valued at $1250.
