A classic wulfenite specimen from the Erupcion Mine and the Don Boydston Collection. Don was a prominent LA area collector in the 1960s-1970s. His "lost" collection surfaced around 2001. Highly lustrous, blocky, "sandwich style" wulfenite crystals to 1.2 cm are aesthetically and richly scattered on both side of the knob of banded, white calcite. This is a highly representative specimen of this classic style from the 1960s.
