Item Description

A classic small cabinet specimen featuring several bladed crystals of Wulfenite, standing on Calcite from the Hilltop Mine in Arizona. The Wulfenites have a wonderful warm yellow hue, and measure up to 7 mm. There is a bit of roughness in a few spots, but it's still a showy and notable specimen from this well-known mine in Southern Arizona.
From the collection of Robert (Bob) Reynolds who passed in August of 2020. Bob was a well-known fossil and mineral expert and former Curator of Earth Sciences at the San Bernardino County Museum in California. The rare phyllomanganate-chromate species Reynoldsite was named in his honor in 2011.
