Item Description
A classic and aesthetic wulfenite thumbnail specimen from the older finds at the famous San Francisco Mine of Mexico. Intergrown, very glassy, transparent to translucent, yellow-orange, wulfenite windowpanes comprise this fine piece. The windowpanes have the typical sharp, beveled edges. This is excellent material, as it is very nearly pristine, with only very trivial edge wear. From the famous 1970s finds. Ex Jaime Bird Collection, with a $25 price tag. Not cheap in those days, for a thumbnail. Actually it is quite above normal, very robust for the finds here! valued $200-250
