Wulfenite with Calcite
specimen number:
2581004
location:
Erupcion Mine (Ahumada Mine), Chihuahua, Mexico
description:
Very neat yellow thin platy crystals of wulfenite to 4.0 cm in size and partially coated with white sparkling micro calcite crystals over a 15.0 x 15.0 x 8.5 cm matrix. Some damage present, I don't think I've ever seen a wulfenite with these thin crystals that did in show a little damage. At first the piece appears to possibly be from the Glove Mine in Arizona, but pieces such as this have been noted in the past from this classic Mexican locality.
Size: 15.0 x 15.0 x 8.5 cm (large-cabinet)
