Item Description

Old-time, rich wulfenite and calcite from famed Mina Ojuela BUT WITH SUCH AN UNUSUAL ASSOCIATION WITH DESCLOIZITE INTERGROWN! In fact, the wulfenite is cast and being replaced (pseudomorphed) by the descloizite, it seems....it is a really strange look! The whole combination is overall a striking dense and sculptural jackstraw intergrown cluster of metallic yellow thick wulfenite window panes. We have seen very few of these, the last one being with a 1960s-70s a label from famous dealer and collector, Charlie Key. This is meaty, chunky, thick, stable and shippable. It is a RARE old and desirable combination style from Ojuela. Valued at $600-800. Bob Reynolds Collection - from his extensive wulfenite suite.
