Description

This specimen combines particularly high quality wulfenite crystals (up to 1.0 cm) with green balls of mimetite microcrystals. The wulfenites are sharp, very lustrous and have nice colour, with some very good translucency (some of the small crystals have some transparency in fact), and the mimetite is a very pleasant mid-green.  In excellent condition – no damage except a couple of minor nicks at the periphery detectable with magnification. This is a great combination specimen of these minerals.
