This is a very unusual piece even amongst the quantity I have seen, an extremely aesthetic specimen. It has square-ish, equant, GLASSY and translucent wulfenite crystals, to .6 cm in length, nestled in a V shaped matrix vug covered in solid rich green mimetite. The wulfenite crystals are among the gemmiest I have ever seen for the species from this locality and so glassy they really leap out.
