Item Description

Classic, blocky wulfenite crystals are jauntily set on the sculptural, steep hillside covered with sparkly, micro-rhombs of snow-white calcite "snow". The hillside is preferentially dusted with olive-green, vanadinite variety endlichite microcrystals. The translucent blocky crystals have super high luster and rich butterscotch color, with the two-toned "sandwich look". The large wulfie is 1.3 x 1.0 x 0.9 cm and both crestal crystals are pristine. The wulfie on the lower right has periphery wear. This is a classic and aesthetic combination piece from the famed Ahumada Mine at Los Lamentos. Older material. It displays well without aid.
