Item Description
Lustrous, butterscotch-colored, bipyramidal, wulfenite crystals are festooned on the very large, sturdy, sculptural, gossan matrix on this impressive, huge specimen from Mina Ojuela. Several of the crystals are doubly terminated, including the largest at 1.7 cm. A small patch of sea-green mimetite botryoids and a peppering on one side of glassy, tiny calcite rhombs are a fine accent. Very few broken crystals are noted on such a large piece. This dramatic large piece has several striking, presentation possibilities. 11.9 pounds or 5.4 kilos. A previous dealer priced this at $1500.
