Item Description

A few excellent, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, bright orange-red, tabular Wulfenite crystals sit atop a mound of contrasting gossan matrix. The largest Wulfenite crystal measures 4 mm long. This specimen is in great shape, and the color of the crystal is wonderful. A fine little specimen from one of the single most important localities in the Western United States. Considering that this locality has been completely buried and never will be mined again, these specimens are commanding a premium nowadays. From the collection of Colorado collector, John Arnuad.
