Item Description

Classic tabular, translucent, "sandwich style" wulfenite prisms, to 1.1 cm, are aesthetically scattered on both sides of the strikingly sculptural lightweight boxwork limonite matrix. One side, with fewer wulfies, has both calcite rhombs and goethite botryoids and the other side, with many more wulfies has only goethite. A showy and aesthetic older two-sided combination from famous Mina Ojuela. Ex Dr. Barratt Phillips Collection. This excellent piece has multiple display views.
