The butterscotch-colored wulfenites on this sculptural limonite matrix range from pseudo-cubic to classically tetragonal. The larger crystals, to 1.4 cm across, are lustrous and translucent, whereas the smaller crystals are even more glassy and gemmy. A few crystals are doubly terminated. It is overall a piece that screams quality, where the crystals are just "better" and their elegant arrangement is so desirable. One of the best in size range, for my taste.
