Wulfenite (old classic material) (ex Rich Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

The mines at Mezica (Miess) in the former Yugoslavia have produced some of the most iconic Wulfenites in Europe. This piece features excellent, classic, sharp, lustrous, gorgeous orange colored crystals of Wulfenite measuring up to 3 mm with a lovely bi-pyramidal habit (many are doubly-terminated) on host rock matrix. While the crystals are not incredibly large, they are still very good quality and beautiful to view up close. If you collect secondary ore minerals, general Wulfenites or minerals from central Europe, don't miss out on this attractive old time specimen dating back many decades. From the collection of Richard A. Kosnar (1946-2007), the well-known mineral dealer and collector from Colorado, who was also the namesake for the phosphate mineral Kosnarite.
