Item Description

Glassy, transparent to translucent, tabular, butterscotch-colored, wulfenite prisms to 1.4 cm are festooned on both sides of the sculptural gossan matrix covered with small, yellow to coated yellow mimetite botryoids. This is very fine, rich and showy combination material from the well-known 1970s finds at the famous San Francisco Mine. There are very few broken crystals, for all the density of crystallization. Classic.
