Beautiful mustard-orange tabular crystals of Wulfenite to 2 cm on edge, richly coated with orangey-lemon spherical clusters of Mimetite from the 1000 ft Level of the celebrated San Francisco mine at Cerro Prieto, Sonora, Mexico. The Wulfenite crystals have preferential lustres depending on the direction viewed; waxy-matt from one side and bright-glassy on the opposite faces. An excellent representative specimen of these two aesthetic species from this classic locality in Mexico.
