Item Description
Lustrous, butterscotch-colored, pseudocubic and bipyramidal wulfenite crystals are festooned on the front and spill over onto the backside of the undulating, sculptural, gossan matrix. Several crystals are doubly terminated, including the largest, at 1.3 cm. The rich concentration of the crystals is noteworthy. There are very few broken crystals for such dense coverage, mostly along the edges. This is a fine and showy piece from the recent finds at the famous Mina Ojuela.
