Item Description

A classic, old-time unusual looking combination specimen from the famous 79 Mine and the Harold Urish Collection. 5 or 6 color-zoned wulfenite windowpanes to 4 mm are aesthetically clustered in the bottom of a strange-looking, angular boxwork of juicy, blue-gray hemimorphite botryoids. We believe the boxwork is a casting after a large dissolved-away crystal, probably a calcite rhomb. Strange looking, but very nifty.
