A marvelous specimen loaded with thin, tabular crystals of yellow Wulfenite to over 1cm. Scattered amongst the Wulfenite are nice green divergent sprays of lime green Mimetite. Specimens like these are typically beat-up, NOT this specimen. It is very clean and virtually damage free aside from a few hardly noticeable crystals.
