Item Description

This is a beautiful small miniature size specimen of this classic material. This piece consists of a group of aesthetic, sharp, tabular, gem/gemmy rich red-orange crystals of Wulfenite with minor matrix. This specimen is in great shape and the color is superb. A fine 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. These gem quality window pane habit crystals are exceedingly rare for this mine (or any other mine for that matter).
