Item Description

Attractive, thin, orange color, bladed crystals of Wulfenite sit atop a banded / "bent" group of bluish-green Chrysocolla (with white Quartz in the center), creating an attractive color combination. Some of the Wulfenites are in really good shape, although others are broken. I photographed the crystals under the microscope to show that some of them are nearly completely crystallized albeit on the micro level. From the collection of Harold Urish, and certainly a beautiful association based upon other pieces I've seen from the 79 Mine.
