Lustrous, PYRAMIDAL, butterscotch-colored wulfenite crystals aesthetically scattered on the robust, mounded, 3-dimensional gossan matrix on this showy and excellent CABINET specimen from a BRAND NEW find at the famous Mina Ojuela at Mapimi, Mexico. This excellent piece features at least FOUR DOUBLY TERMINATED crystals and crystals reach 1.5 cm on this fine piece (1 of the DT crystals is the 1.5 cm crystal). This is an EXCELLENT representation of this new find, from the first major Mexican wulfenite find, since the San Francisco wulfies in the mid-90s. The exact mine location is Level 6, San Juan Poniente vein.
