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.

This specimen has a doubly terminated, twinned pink (manganoan) Calcite crystal to 1.9cm. The pink color came out a little more in the digital process, but in-hand is still a nice soft pink color with many more tiny crystals in the vug. It is a nicely trimmed and well presented minature specimen.

This is a fine mineral of perfection, with no flaws or damage whatsoever. The Calcite crystal is a doubly terminated scalenohedral crystal to 7.5cm and is perfect. The crystal sits perfectly on limestome matrix with Dolomite, Chalcopyrite and Galena. The Calcite itself has included Dickite giving it a "foggy" appearance. At one end the crystal is snow white from the Dickite totally intruding the crystal. It is a specimen out of the Martin Jensen collection of who had personally collected it in January of 1998 and recorded the exact locality as seen on his personal label (prov. tab). PS- it sits perfect. It shows much better in person.
