Item Description
Water-clear, yellow wulfenite windowpanes to 7 mm are attractively scattered on the scultpural, Africa-shaped gossan matrix covered with yellow-green botryoidal mimetite on this excellent combination piece from the very interestingly named Total Wreck Mine of Arizona. This obscure mine was intermittently worked from the 1880s to 1940. Old-time and rare combination material, seldom available in this quality. Ex Harold Urish Collection and acquired from George Stevens at the 2003 Tucson Show.
