Item Description

A classic, colorful and beautiful combination miniature from this famous Arizona mine. An 8 mm, gem, orange wulfenite windowpane is dramatically perched on the barite matrix festooned with sparkly burnt-orange mimetite botryoids and more wulfies. The wulfie has only a teeny tiny edge bruise, which is certainly acceptable in the context of this classic cutie. Robert Bartsch was a noted California field collector and collector. He passed away in 2014 and here is a link to a fine article written by his friend, Rock Currier: http://www.mindat.org/article.php/2158/Robert+Bartsch+++RIP++1939+to+2014.
