Wulfenite (RARE old Nevada locale!) Otto Pfordte Coll.

Item Description

Wulfenite specimens are EXTREMELY RARE from this obscure Eureka County, Nevada district. Beautiful, lustrous, transparent to translucent yellow window panes, to 7 mm, fill an impresssive long vug in the large sculptural, layered, vuggy, granular quartz crystal matrix. MINDAT lists 7 localities for the species, but features NO photos in the County photo gallery. Superb, very rich and RARE old-time material from the Otto Pfordte Collection, a prominent mining engineer, who passed away in 1938. His faded old label dates from 1904-1919. A MUST for the species or Nevada collector! Valued at $1000-plus for rarity and richness.
