Item Description
Impressive, large blocky, "sandwich-style", wulfenite prisms form a dramatic and exceptional specimen from famed Los Lamentos. Highly lustrous, rich caramel-colored crystals, to a large 2.0 x 1.1 cm, aesthetically fill the sculptural vug in solid wulfenite matrix. Wulfenite crystals of this size and quality are RARE and DESIRABLE from here. In great shape. The large crystal has only trivial edge wear and the noted periphery wear certainly has only minimal impact to the overall outstanding quality of this very fine piece. Classic old-time material from the 1960s and 70s finds. Formerly in the Norman Wilson Collection. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued by Herb at $3500 over six years ago and well worth it.
