Architecturally aesthetic, on a curving crust of limonite, are spheres of rich green mimetite to 3 mm across upon which are emplaced glassy and translucent, bi-pyramidal, amber-colored crystals of wulfenite, to .8 cm in length. They sparkle like jewels! A few of the acicular wulfenite crystals are doubly terminated. Fascinating form and color contrast!
