Wulfenite (classic material) (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

This is a beautiful thumbnail size specimen featuring highly lustrous, sharp, glowing orange-red crystals of Wulfenite. This is an older specimen as it features more of the classic "Ed Over" style crystals with a couple of secondary "window pane" habit crystals flaring off. A fine specimen from one of the single most important localities in the Western United States. There are few minor rough imperfections, but overall it's still in excellent condition. I'm told that this locality has been completely buried and may never be mined again, so the best of these these specimens are commanding a premium nowadays. BETTER IN PERSON! Hard to photograph! Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#9210). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
