Item Description
Wulfenite specimens of this very high quality are RARE from this obscure New Mexico district. Upright luscious orange, parallel-growth, wulfenite blades look like gorgeous flower petals on this very aesthetic piece. The sparkly coating of drusy quartz on the wulfies really adds pizzazz. Gentle edge wear noted to one blade certainly has no impact on the quality of this exceptional piece. Bruising on the back side of the crystal cluster is out-of-sight in the display view. Superlative and rare wulfenite from the Chris Cowan Collection. A MUST for the locality or species collector
