Item Description

A showy, two-sided wulfenite specimen from this historic locality. Sharp, lustrous, caramel-orange color, "sandwich style", thick, tabular crystals are perched on both sides of the matrix. The crystal measure up to 1.6 cm on edge. There are many more crystals on the 'B' side, with most in good shape, but there are some obvious broken crystals here. Highly representative older material from the 1960s or 70s, or earlier, from the Robert Fender Collection.
