Already a classic in terms of its crystal form, this exceptional Wulfenite miniature is very obviously from the famous finds at Erupción mine, Los Lamentos, Chihuahua, Mexico. Displaying the iconic, orange to burnt orange, chunky, blocky, resinous, colour-zoned crystals, the largest reaches an impressive 1.8 cm across and sits perfectly for viewing on the classic white Calcite/limestone matrix. One crystal presents a chisel-like termination while others have multiple hopper terminations, but all display perfectly with their 'wet' lustre making them look good enough to eat, but please don't. There are a couple of very slight marks to the corners of the crystals, but these are trivial in comparison to its overall beauty. Great examples of these classic Wulfenite crystals are now getting difficult to find.
