Item Description

From a find in 2009, here we have a beautiful yellow Wulfenite crystal group free of matrix. The color is reminiscent of Mexican Mimetite, and really stands out among so many orange Wulfenites from around the world. This specimen is very eye-catching and has strong color with resinous exterior luster. A few VERY minor imperfections can be seen, but great quality all around, with no breaks, chips or dings. This material is extremely hard to find now, and certainly worth picking up if you collect thumbnails or worldwide Wulfenites. Ex Charlie Key personal collection. Charlie is arguably the most sucessful dealer of the second half of the 20th century, along with being the namesake for TWO mineral species (Keyite and Ludlockite).
