Item Description

The Glove Mine is one of the most highly-desired of Arizona Wulfenite localities. This outstanding and LARGE specimen has dozens of sharp Wulfenite blades, at least half of which are over 2 cm in size. Many have beveled edges, and a number of those crystals are beautifully draped with Calcite crystals. Hard-matrix (in this case, botryoidal Pyrolusite) Wulfenites from this mine are hard to come by as most crystal clusters are loose in situ or were removed during collecting. This is really an aesthetic and quality specimen. Ex. Bill Smith Collection. Originally priced at $950.
