Wulfenite, Mimetite & Dolomite (Paterson Museum Coll.)

Item Description

A large, showy and rich combination from famed Tsumeb. The large sculptural vug hosts: numerous very glassy, stepped-growth, chocolate-brown wulfenite crystals. The stout prism is 1.2 cm across; scattered botryoidal straw-yellow mimetite; and rich carpets of lustrous, pastel-pink dolomite rhombs with adjacent carpets of iron oxide-tinted rhombs. Classic and excellent large older combination material from the Paterson Museum Collection.
