large Descloizite on Wulfenite (Megaw Collection)

Item Description

Normally we are looking to buy a magnificent cabinet sized wulfenite from Los Lamentos, but this is something actually even more unusual - a cabinet sized Declozite on matrix (that happens to be wulfenites!). A rich and dense field of blocky wulfenite prisms, to 2.0 cm, is totally covered with two generations of descloizite - one a matte dark reddish-brown; and striking preferential scintillating, gemmy, olive-green microcrystals. It is all on the large, rolling, sculptural dense white matrix. All of the myriad of crystals are pristine, with only one small contact noted, making it exceptional for the size. See the 2003 Mineralogical Record article in Mexico Special Issue III, Vol. 34, No. 6. This is from the Peter Megaw Collection and valued at $1500. Classic, excellent and rich large old-time wulfenite combination material dating to the 1960s or early 1970s, you just do not see them for sale.
