SOLD Wulfenite with Mimetite
Rowley Mine, (Reliance Mine), Theba, Painted Rock District
Arizona, United States
2.1 x 1.6 x 1.4 CM (thumbnail)
price: $0
new year 2021
A superb and perfect thumbnail of bright orange windowpane Wulfenites with a scattering of red Mimetite. The Wulfenites are perched like wings on a small mound of solid matrix so this looks like a butterfly from some angles. Even under strong magnification this is flawless, undamaged and looks fine from any angle. The Rowley Mine is one of the great USA localities for Wulfenites, the crystals tend to be small, thin and brilliant. The mine, before it closed in recent years, was an excellent source of specimens but fully perfect competition quality was very rare. We have handled many good pieces and are currently offering some others on line, but this is simply not a typical level piece. Far better in person and an outstanding colorful, delicate Wulfenite that is a choice example of this iconic locality.
