Two generations of gray to tan calcite forms the matrix for a gemmy and glassy, golden-hued crystal of wulfenite, 1.5 cm across. Only a few, insignificant wilbers keep this specimen from being pristine but it is nearly so. It stands dramatically and vertically, is mostly gemmy, and has great color - very RARE quality overall for a Tsumeb wulfenite which is among the rarer of the more normal Tsumeb species to be found.
