A really fine small miniature of Wulfenite, exhibiting incredibly lustrous and gemmy tabular crystals of rich toffee-brown, measuring to 8 mm and with characteristic bevelled edges. The crystals are aesthetically scattered over the dark brick red to brown mixed Goethite-Hematite matrix. It cannot be over emphasised just how lustrous these crystals are, so when looked at from differing angles the entire specimen sparkles from the numerous mirror-like faces. It is a thing of beauty and a fabulous miniature Wulfenite from Tsumeb. It is accompanied by a M. Sussman Collection label and a John Betts Fine Minerals label.
