Item Description

Sparkly, translucent, reddish-orange wulfenite blades to about 4 mm (some lightly coated) densely cover the front of the sculptural, sturdy gossan matrix on this very rich specimen. The wulfenites have sharp beveled edges. This showy specimen is from the one-time find in China in 2006-2007. It is an excellent piece in this size range from the limited find. There are many more wulfies on the vuggy sides and back of this piece (some even larger). There are very, very few broken crystals on the front. Part of the back has been sawed to enhance the display. You don't see many around anymore! The crystals glow in strong light.
