Item Description

Glassy, sharp, amber-brown, wulfenite crystals are aesthetically and richly scattered on both sides of the sculptural, two-sided crust covered with sparkly, translucent, green, mottramite botryoids. The stunning large isolated wulfie is 1.3 cm and its pristine. Overall, for such rich coverage, the piece has trivial bruising. This is outstanding and very colorful combination material from this famous and now-closed mine. Ex Howard Belsky Collection. Fairly valued at $500-600 for richness and combination quality.
