Very few specimens had a wulfenite association - this piece features a prominent, 2-cm-tall wulfenite crystal in the middle of natural pinnacles of sparkling mimetite, for amazing contrast. The wulfenite admittedly has a few small dings on its tip, which are visible on close inspection, but the association is still beautiful and very rare.
