One of two specimens in the Avila collection that he kept from handling this special "gem pocket" from Ojuela, in the mid 2000s, this is a rich piece with windowpane wulfenite crystals set atop of sprinkles of yellow mimetite. The wulfenite crystals are like glass, and have a gorgeous yellow color to them that is highly unusual for Ojuela wulfenite. This is a sturdy 3-dimensional piece overall and we believe we can ship it safely.
