Wulfenite, Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Oshikoto Region, Namibia
Size: 7.8X6.2X4.0CM
Mineral: Wulfenite
Locality: Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Oshikoto Region, Namibia
Description: Quite and interesting specimen the piece really has some heft when held in hand due to the sulfide matrix that the wulfenite crystals grew on. The crystals are a dark burnt orange with some sulfide inclusions that are zoned near the center of the crystals. The specimen has top notch luster. There is some damage on the specimen, but the eyes are primarily drawn to the sparkling mirror luster wulfenite crystals that are intact rather than the broken blades.
