If you are looking for a dramatic, aesthetic Wulfenite specimen from the famous Tsumeb mine, then you can't go far wrong with this beauty. An excellent display of large, lustrous, translucent, classic caramel-coloured Wulfenite crystals awaits. The Wulfenite crystals measure up to 1.1 cm on edge and show strong development of the pinacoid with beveled, faintly striated edges. They stand out strikingly against the surrounding white crystals of Dolomite on a matrix of Tennantite crystals. The largest Wulfenite crystal stands upright alongside two flatter-lying tabular crystals all of which are in excellent condition with no obvious signs of damage. A fourth large tabular Wulfenite crystal towards the edge of the specimen is missing one corner, but overall this specimen has super presence for display.
