A thin crust of matrix is covered on all sides by a druse of beautifully velvety, rich olive-green mimetite. Upon it are emplaced SUPER-GLASSY, sparkling and translucent, amber-colored wulfenite crystals to 5 mm across. This is one of the most sparkling and beautiful combo specimens of this material we have seen, and of an uncommon wulfenite style for the locality.
