Wulfenite, Mimetite

Specimen # 100582
Mineral: Wulfenite, Mimetite
Location: Ojuela Mine, Mapimí, Durango, Mexico
Size: 8.0 x 4.8 x 4.5 cm

Description

This is an elegant specimen. Golden yellow wulfenite crystals up to 1.0 cm are accompanied by hundreds of little balls of light green mimetite microcrystals. The wulfenites are sharp and incredibly bright and lustrous. The main group of larger wulfenites is particularly aesthetic, and there is a much greater number of smaller wulfenite crystals, giving sparkle throughout the specimen. The dark gossan present on the piece adds contrast. In excellent condition – no damage.

This is a standout Ojuela wulfenite!
