Nestled in a vug of limonite are several, thick lustrous and translucent, amber-colored crystals of wulfenite, to 1.5 cm in length, of which at least two are doubly terminated. THESE ARE EXTREMELY LARGE CRYSTALS FOR THIS BLOCKY HABIT, FROM THIS MINE AND FIND. A few bright green spheres of mimetite are also present, as well as accenting little calcite crystals. But it is the thick, robust wulfenite here, that is unusual.
