Although renowned for exceptional Wulfenite crystal aggregates the association of Calcite crystals coating, or encapsulating, freestanding bladed Wulfenite crystals is rare at Glove mine, in Cottonwood Canyon, Santa Rita Mts., Santa Cruz Co., Arizona. This fine smaller cabinet specimen is from Paul Matt and shows this unusual combination extremely well. On one edge the centre of one of these overgrown Wulfenite crystals is exposed, revealing just how incredibly thin the creamy-yellow Wulfenite crystals are. For the most part, the Wulfenite crystals are not visible, but their colour is imparted upon the colourless platy Calcite crystals which encrust them. This fascinating combination is presented really nicely and with no obvious damage to the small encrusting Calcite crystals it makes for a lovely smaller display.
