Nestled aesthetically on matrix are over a dozen highly lustrous, orange-red, translucent crystals of wulfenite to 1.5 cm across. There is also a druse of yellow mimetite underlying the wulfenite crystals. Active mining ceased prior to WWII, so this is an oldie. Although 4 or 5 larger wulfies have edge damage, however, this is still a significant specimen due to sheer coverage and color saturation, since it displays beautifully (and the price is adjusted accordingly). Also, these are very large for matrix crystals from the mine.
