Item Description
A hard to find specimen of Wulfenite from Stephenson-Bennett Mine. The piece has somewhat blocky butterscotch colored Wulfenite crystals which are reminiscent of the locality. Associated white Aragonite makes for a nice accent. This piece is from the collection of Allen Heyl, a now deceased geologist from Colorado, good friend to the Kosnar family, and a the namesake for the species Aheylite (a member of the Turquoise group).
