An important, superb, colorful plate, in REALLY good condition. The crystals are to 1.5 cm in size and have TOP color. The form, not so obvious in photos as in person, is extremely 3-dimensional with a curving and mounded look. Minute orange specks you see are tiny little wulfenites. This is pristine except only the peripheral edges as you expect from removal. These were mined in the early to mid- 1980s and you CANNOT GET SUCH things now on the market. This is a very impressive for piece for the price, that I think is going to be hard to find out there in a comparable quality.
