An excellent grouping of large lustrous platy wulfenite crystals with minor calcite. Micro-chipping is present typical of these, still very minimal. Overall I think the specimen is in very good condition. These are exceptionally large crystals for the species from this classic locality. Minor calcite present on the backside of the crystal grouping.
