Item Description
A cool and rarely seen partial cubic crystal of pale lilac and green Fluorite which plays host to dozens of small (up to 4 mm), butterscotch-orange color, modified tabular crystals of Wulfenite from the famous Bingham area in New Mexico. This is one of the very few pieces of this material that I have seen, and would make a worthwhile addition to a reference suite of Wulfenite or Fluorite, or possibly specimens from Bingham, or just New Mexico in general.
