Description

A very beautiful specimen with lots of perfect, some transparent, slightly greenish caramel-colored wulfenite crystals on black matrix (fantastic contrast) with some white calcite crystals. If not for two damaged crystals this would really be a perfect specimen. And material from this locality is almost impossible to find nowadays.
