Description

Hilltop wulfenites belong to the classic USA specimens. They are almost impossible to get in any quality and date from the beginning of 1900s. Although some damage can be seen to one of the bigger crystals (as is almost always the case with these specimens), this specimen is host to a large number of undamaged tabular egg yolk yellow wulfenites. Rare and good specimen from an old classic USA locality.
