11.5 x 6.0 x 4.0 cm. CABINET-SIZED specimens of Red Cloud wulfenite were never common. This very showy 2003 Red Gem Pocket piece is dominated by a beautiful, centrally located, 1.1 cm, gemmy and lustrous, red-orange wulfenite crystal with smaller crystals nicely scattered on the quartz matrix, which is uncommon in itself.
5.7 x 5.4 x 3.1 cm. A rich plate of bright yellow (brighter yellow and less green in person) Arizona mimetite. Buried amongst the profusion of mimetite microcrystals are small, tabular, gemmy yellow wulfenite crystals. This lead-mineral combo is classic from Arizona.
5.2 x 3.9 x 3.5 cm. NEON FIERY ORANGE wulfenite to 1.2 cm, and about 4 of them, perched on matrix…this has the best color I have ever seen for an orange Moroccan wulfenite!
5.0 x 2.6 x 1.9 cm. A gorgeous windowpane crystal of SHARP metallic and yet gemmy wulfenite, 10 x 9 mm in size, perched on crystallized barite.
5.3 x 2.6 x 2.0 cm. An EXCELLENT and SHOWY specimen of quartz replacing wulfenite crystals on sparkly, gray, drusy quartz matrix from the famous Finch Mine of Arizona. The large crystal is 1.3 cm
8.3 x 5.6 x 3.2 cm. A cluster of butterscotch-colored wulfenites from Tsumeb, on a sparkly matrix of calcite-on-quartz. Wulfenites from Tsumeb are highly sough-after and hard to obtain! The largest crystal measures 1.3 cm on edge.
3.5 x 2.5 x 2.2 cm. Superb cluster of glassy butterscotch-orange Wulfenites that range from opaque to gem-clear. The largest blade is 1.1 cm on edge.
7.5 x 6.7 x 1 cm. Terrific plate of classic tabular yellow wulfies from Mibladen. The color and crystal habit are excellent, and the luster on these gemmy beauties is superb. The average size of the blades is about .6 cm on edge.
2.9 x 1.8 x 1.0 cm. A gorgeous thumber of BRIGHT orange-red wulfenite from the now-defunct Red Cloud.
4.5 x 4.0 x 2.6 cm. Here we have a very aesthetic specimen from this classic Wulfenite locality. It features a very attractive golden orange, gemmy, tabular crystal group of Wulfenite aesthetically sitting on reddish-orange Mimetite on matrix. These pieces are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain these days, and they are truly some of the most impressive Wulfenites from any world locality.
8.7 x 5.0 x 4.0 cm. A EXCELLENT and AESTHETIC, OLD-TIME Tsumeb specimen of lustrous, caramel-colored wulfenites attractively set on contrasting quartz needle-covered matrix and FURTHER enhanced by the blue-green copper sulfate oxidation minerals devilline and serpierite. ALL of the major wulfenites are PRISTINE and the large complex crystal is 1.4 cm. The old, 1970s or early 1980s, dealer label misidentifies devilline and serpierite as rosasite.
2.4 x 2.1 x 0.7 cm. This piece consists of a group of highly aesthetic, sharp, tabular, gemmy, rich orange crystals of Wulfenite crystals measuring 16 mm perched upon Limonite matrix. This specimen is in great shape and the color is superb. A fine little specimen from one of the single most important localities in the Western United States. Ex. Kosnar Collection.
4.1 x 3.6 x 1.8 cm. An AMAZING, DISTINCTIVE and RARE combination piece from Tsumeb of a large, 3.9 cm, lustrous, caramel-colored wulfenite crystal perched on a solid, two-sided crust of sparkly, emerald-green dioptase crystals. Ex. George Elling Collection.
2.5 x 1.3 x 0.6 cm. This is a beautiful thumbnail size specimen. This piece consists of a group of highly aesthetic, sharp, tabular, GEM/gemmy, rich orange crystals of Wulfenite. One of the crystals is an amazingly water clear "window pane" habit crystal with rich orange color.
8.7 x 8.7 x 2.5 cm. A large, very rich specimen from the exciting find covered in the February issue of the Min. Record. New wulfenite finds are of course quite uncommon, and in China there has been only one minor one over the past few decades. But this recent find is characterized by these deep red crystals in a rich profusion on the matrix. The crystals are not large, but are quite lustrous, and are isolated on the matrix rather than massed together, which adds to the attractiveness.
