The vivid contrast of bright orange wulfenite and bright green mimetite is spectacular and makes these specimens highly coveted by almost all collectors of Mexican minerals. I still remember when a specimen of this famous find was the show poster for the Hotel Tucson City Center mineral show. This piece has lustrous pseudo cubic wulfenite crystals up to 1.2cm in length. It is in excellent condition with edges that roll over the back side, which is also covered in wulfenite crystals. I do note 2 small broken crystals that don’t show from the display face. Comes with a custom cut acrylic base.

Wulfenite from Ojuela Mine, Mapimí, Durango, Mexico
Ojuela wulfenite belongs to that small group of mineral specimens whose locality identity is visible at a glance. Instead of the broad, glassy, orange “windowpanes” of many southwestern U.S. classics, the Mapimí material often has a more sculptural, bristling character: tapered yellow to orange-brown crystals, spear-like prisms, thick tablets, and eccentric “sandwich” crystals in which a brown middle zone is framed by yellow outer growth. On the best pieces, the wulfenite is set against the colors that made Ojuela famous—green mimetite, white calcite, brown limonite and goethite, tobacco-green mottramite, and the rusty gossan of a deeply oxidized lead-silver-zinc deposit.
