Item Description

These wulfenites created quite a splash when they came out because of their lusterous xtals and deep red color (see Mineralogical Record, Vol. 38 No. 1). This piece, although it has damage like almost all the material from this find, has a ridge and a couple of other areas with such lusterous xtals. And most of the material from this locality has very small xtals; this piece has xtals to 8 mm.
