WULFENITE
This large wulfenite specimen was mined, probably, in theheyday here of the 1950s-1960s. It is stunning, simply a wall of color and lustre, staring back at you. I have handled MANY wulfenites from this location, including a few large pieces and others priced int his range. For sheer color impact and solidity, this specimen is up there among the most impressive. It features crystals of TOP QUALITY for this location both in terms of caramel-like surface lustre, and in terms of an intense orange color. The crystals measure to 2 cm. There must be 100 of them, and only a few have tiny, totally irrelevant dings. The piece is almost pristine even on the periphery, which I find shocking given how long ago they were mined, how soft the mineral is, and how poorly many were handled in the early days before they were understood to have high value to the nascent mineral specimen market. Comes with custom lucite base for display. (First photo is a Joe Budd photo)
