Bright, transparent, light yellowish-orange wulfenite blades to .5 cm along with minute tufts of white mimetite all sit on a matrix of limonite gossan. The sheer number of wulfenite crystals take on the appearance of window panes. very RARE AND very RICH for the locality, better known for about every other Mexican mineral than wulfenite. Fragile but I think it will mail OK if you are willing to accept a few inevitable crystals faling off.
