| 44577: Wulfenite and Calcite - $24 Ojuela Mine, MapimÃ, Mapimà Municipality, Durango, Mexico Miniature - 5.6 x 3.6 x 2.2 cm 35 grams Specimen status: Available Send an email with specimen number to order An intimate pair of sharply
bipyramidal (almost purely octahedral) wulfenite crystals,
with the larger individual measuring almost 1.1 cm, on
matrix studded with tiny, rhombohedral calcites. This was
another specimen which began as almost trash: overly
large, mostly barren matrix with the majority of the
wulfenite present being heavily damaged. These little gems
survived due to the protection afforded by the pocket in
which they formed. Could be further trimmed to a thumbnail
without significant loss.
