Item Description

Sparkling, sharp, yellow-orange wulfenite crystals to 2 mm are richly scattered on both sides of the blocky CABINET matrix covered with micro-bladed barite on this very rich and showy combination piece from a recent Chinese find. The wulfies have an unusual bipyramidal crystal form. This mine is the world's second largest REE deposit. Ex Zukowski Collection and exceptionally rich for the locale and find.
