Item Description
A SUPERB, CLASSIC Tsumeb wulfenite crystal aesthetically set in complimentary, 3-dimensional, sparkly, cobaltoan dolomite microcrystal matrix. The gemmy and lustrous, 1.9 cm, butterscotch-colored crystal has fabulous beveled edges. The frontal view of the wulfie is very nearly pristine, with only a couple of infinitesimal points of edgwear. The back of the crystal has a bit more edgewear, but is totally out of sight. Seldom are Tsumeb wulfenites of this quality on the market, except in recycled, major collections. Ex Rob Smith Collection, a noted Tsumeb specialist. Valued at $1000
