Item Description
Lustrous, translucent, reddish-orange wulfenite blades to 1.2 cm (some lightly coated) are very richly scattered on the large sulfide matrix plate. The wulfenites have sharp beveled edges. This specimen is from the one-time find in China in 2006-2007. It is an fine piece in this size range from the limited find, with just a few bruised crystals and a bit of noted periphery wear. You don't see many around anymore! The crystals glow in strong light. The back has been sawed to enhance the display quality and this showy and rich piece looks great from either side.
