Item Description

Glassy windowpanes of water-clear wulfenite crystals from the famous Rowley Mine have always been a highly desirable, but far less common wulfenite locality from Arizona. This beautiful and showy specimen is richly and aesthetically covered with isolated and clusters of sharp, gem-clear, butterscotch-colored blades to 7 mm on bladed barite matrix. Gemmy, orange mimetite balls are a super accent! This is an uncommon combination in itself. Very few broken crystals on such rich coverage. SELDOM available in this quality. Ex Chris Korpi Collection.
