This was the rarest style in the find and the combination I think is completely and totally unique as well as beautiful, compared to anything else out there for the species. This is a large plate of rolling matrix covered with green mimetite, itself liberally covered with sharp, spiky, wulfenite crystals averaging 6 mm or so. The richness of color is beautiful. There is very minor damage, but not much given the size and its on the periphery.
