Item Description

Lustrous, butterscotch-colored, bipyramidal, wulfenite crystals are richly and aesthetically scattered on the sturdy, very sculptural, 3-dimenstional, gossan matrix on this excellent specimen from Mina Ojuela. Several of the crystals are doubly terminated, including the largest at 1.5 cm. Sparkly spherical aggregates of dark olive-green mimetite cover much of the matrix and are a fine accent. A few broken crystals are noted on the periphery, but certainly nothing to detraction. This showy piece has several excellent presentation possibilities.
