Item Description

Sparkly, translucent to transparent, orangey-red wulfenite blades to about 7 mm (some lightly coated) are festooned on three sides of the vuggy surface of the mounded sturdy gossan matrix on this impressive, large and rich specimen. The wulfenites have sharp beveled edges. This striking specimen is from the one-time find in China in 2006-2007. It is an excellent piece in this size range (not many of this size!) from the limited find. There are very, very few broken crystals on this piece. The piece displays well without aid from both sides, as two sides of the back have been sawed. You don't see many around anymore! Value??
