Item Description

An exceptionally fine, aesthetic and very uncommon older pseudomorph from famous Los Lamentos. Two generations of sparkly arsenic-rich vanadinite have pseudomorphed a sculptural cluster of large, tabular wulfenite prisms. The impressive large pseudo is 3.6 cm on edge. Complete all-around and in great shape. The interior is pristine and the bit of periphery wear reveals the starkly contrasting white matrix. Rare in this richness, size and quality, this outstanding pseudo has 360-degree visual appeal. Choice material from the James Zigras Mexico Collection Valued at $750-1000. This piece probably dates from the 1960s to 70s.
