Item Description
An exceptionally fine combination specimen from a recent find at the famous Mina Ojuela. Lustrous, pseudocubic, variably butterscotch-colored wulfenite crystals are richly scattered on a very sturdy, 3-dimensional gossan matrix. The wulfies are beautifully complimented by BOTH botryoidal and crystallized green mimetite, a RARE occurrence. The largest crystal is 5 mm and many are doubly terminated. The back has been sawed to enhance the display quality. The isolated wulfenites and mimetites are very noteworthy on this showy piece.
