Item Description

Wulfenite specimens from the San Francisco mine are some of the most attractive of any Wulfenite specimens from Mexico. This piece hosts several, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, bright orange, very thin tabular blades of Wulfenite measuring up to 1.0 cm associated with spherical Mimetite on matrix. A tiny bit of damage to the specimen can be seen, but it's certainly forgiveable for this material. The piece is without a doubt more than a good Mexican reference specimen. Buy now, as these pieces are almost never seen on the market these days.
