Item Description

This is a beautiful thumbnail size specimen. This piece consists of a group of aesthetic, sharp, gemmy, tabular, rich orange crystals of Wulfenite crystals measuring up to 17 mm perched upon Limonite 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. Valued at $800 in Rich Kosnar's collection catalogue.
