Item Description

A CLASSIC cluster of butterscotch-colored wulfenite blades RICHLY dusted with olive-green mimetite botryoids from the famed Mina Ojuela and the Jaime Bird Collection. The sharp, moderately lustrous wulfenite blades reach 1.8 cm on this EXCELLENT, two-sided piece. The wulfies artfully rest on a sturdy gossan matrix and only two of the major crystals have broken edges on the periphery. This is really a very fine and aesthetic Mina Ojuela wulfenite and mimetite combo, with the way the wulfenite blades proudly project vertically. Older material from the early 1960s.
