Item Description
Very glassy, orange-red to reddish-orange wulfenite crystals with sharp beveled edges, to 1.6 cm, are aesthetically scattered on the matrix crust which is covered with tiny, red, mimetite crystals. This is a rare, seldom seen, older combination piece in this high quality from this renowned mine. Pristine. This fine rarity undoubtably dates to the 1960s or 70s finds. Ex Giancarlo Fioravanti Collection and obtained from English dealer and collector Brian LLoyd for 20 pounds in 1976.
