Item Description

Wulfenite and mimetite combinations from the San Francisco Mine are highly desirable. Glassy, transparent to translucent, yellow-orange window panes, to 1.1 cm, and yellow mimetite botryoids are richly and aesthetically clustered on this this excellent, dramatic and very sculptural small cabinet. From an East Coast Collection. The T.L. Baskin & Sons label dates to the 1960s and 70s, when prolific and famous finds were made at this noted locale. This piece is very sturdy with stout crystals, compared to many that are delicate. Essentially pristine. Valued at $1000-1250 for high quality, richness and aesthetics.
