Description

A wulfenite/mimetite combination piece with a little drama – the fact that the wulfenite crystals and mimetite balls are all spread out and have some nice separation on the matrix really gives some great contrast to this fine specimen.  The largest wulfenite is 1.0 cm long and the largest mimetite ball has a diameter of 0.5 cm. There are minor nicks and a couple of missing tips but you need magnification for them to be apparent to any degree – the specimen looks great. This is a sweet piece – the contrast is striking!
