A classic Mina Ojuela specimen of four lustrous, blocky to tabular, butterscotch-colored wulfenite crystals very aesthetically set on sturdy gossan matrix richly covered with starkly contrasting, olive-green mammillary mimetite. This fine piece probably dates to the famous 1968 find. Ex. Jaime Bird Collection.
