Description

Vivid red tabular wulfenite crystals elegantly perched on dark oxides-coated porphyry matrix. Crystals are superbly lustrous and with the typical growth patterns on the main display faces. Some calcite rhombohedrons lay on top of dark matrix (coronadite or Fe-Mn oxide?).
An exceptional quality specimen with great color contrast. Excellent quality for Red Cloud. Some very minor contacts, mostly negligible.

In my collection since the early 2000s, I got this from a very knowledgeable Italian collector.
