Description
This piece immediately catches the eye. The elongated wulfenite on the left of the specimen is very rectangular with the height almost double the width. In my experience this habit is very uncommon from the Red Cloud Mine. The crystals are neon orange, undamaged, and unrepaired. A classic USA specimen! Ex. Mel Bersch
