Description

A more or less parallel intergrowth of several sharp, complete, tabular wulfenite crystals, highly translucent and pale-tan in colour. The display face (as photographed) is partly frosted with sugary, colourless-white micro crystals of calcite, while on the reverse side of the specimen the calcite druse completely covers the wulfenite.

The specimen is in the collection of Sharon and Eugene Cisneros.
