They are highly lustrous, translucent, have fine butterscotch color, and are typically fat. The large crystal is 1.6 x 1.5 x 0.7 cm. All of the crystals have razor-sharp beveled edges. Essentially pristine. The two large crystals have only tiny edge wilburs. This is a very High quality older wulfenite from the Giancarlo Fioravanti Collection, who purchased this piece from the Richard Barstow Collection in St. Just (Cornwall) in 1975 for 20 pounds.
