This piece is literally "juicy," an adjective I do not use often! It looks edible, and is so lustrous and bright, it looks fake. The truly great LL wulfesnites have this high, waxy luster that distinguishes them from, in my mind, all others. This piece is handsized, 3-dimensional, and totally pristine! It has a rich color bordering on orange-red, a little deeper in hue than most from the locality. It is also very unusual to get a piece that is so 3-dimensional and solidly made of wulfenite, as opposed to the typical style where they are perched on matrix. Ed had one of the most interesting suites of these I have seen!
