This specimen was personally collected by Robert Waidler in 1970. It is perfect, without damage, and with very thin iron oxide coating giving it a good orange color. The locality was formerly operated by the New Jersey Zinc Company and is located NE of Cuba City, east on Hwy 80. Dumps may still be available to dig.

Small cabinet specimen of Wulfenite covered with lustrous, very nice, brownish red Calcite crystals to 2mm. The Wulfenite plates were large and over 2cm. Scattered about are lime green acicular crystals of Mimetite. It is a fascinating specimen especially under the scope. I have not seen this paragenesis from Ojuela before. It was previously from the Al Kidwell collection purchased in 1966.

Calcite, especially this size, is rare in pegmatites. Most carbonates are associated with the primary phosphates. This specimen is an unusually large Calcite crystal perched nicely on Microcline. The specimen was photographed for figue 4-24 in London's "Pegmatites" book. See prov. tab for London't label.

An excellent specimen with good provenance. The specimen was personally collected by RJ Waidler in 1968 from underground at the Blackstone mine. The Calcite crystals are of rhombic forms with a cool frosted, faint yellow color. The crystals average about 8mm. The matrix is massive, crystalline dark reddish brown Sphalerite.
