Wulfenite (classic locale)

Item Description

Classic, beautiful, "sandwich-style" wulfenite prisms in a dramatic rich jackstraw jumble form a sculptural and impressive small cabinet from famed Mina Ojuela. The translucent prisms, to 1.3 cm, have matte-lustre faces with typical glassy interiors on the spare gossan matrix. Wulfies of this style and habit have intermittently come out from Ojuela from the 1960s to 1990s. A bit of periphery wear is certainly acceptable in the context of this rich and showy piece. Every turn presents different visual aspect to this fine example of this varietal. See the 2003 Mineralogical Record Mexico Special Issue II, Vol. 34, No. 5 on Ojuela. Valued by respected Arizonia dealer, Gene Schlepp, at $1750.
