Item Description

Lustrous, butterscotch-colored wulfenite blades to 1.3 cm are festooned on both sides of the sturdy, sculptural gossan matrix on this very showy and excellent CABINET specimen from Touissit, Morocco. Many of the wulfies are mirror-bright and have sharp, beveled edges. For such exceptionally rich coverage, there are not that many broken crystals, in fact, far fewer on the "A" side. Touissit has not produced wulfenites of this quality in many years. These came out in the early-middle 1980s or earlier. Very highly representative of the species and locale. Valued at $750-950
