A striking and delicate example of this rare association from the final find in Xinjiang. I do not know of any comparable find worldwide, and there were very few of these found with this quality level. Brilliant red edges of thin wulfenite outline the crystals faces coated by layers of white cerrusites. Sequential depositions are clearly seen and the whole presentation is very esthetic. There is damage to some crystals as can be seen in the photos but the overall delicacy, rarity and beauty help minimize this distraction.

Quite simply a killer thumbnail / toenail. This is electric red with top glasslike luster and wonderful esthetics. The condition is exceptionally good too, there is outer edge chipping but the main crystals and display zone are quite pristine, For this find this is the closest to absolute perfection as I have seen. I was asked how this compares with other red wulfenites, so, for comparison I put this alongside a fine Ed Over vintage Red Cloud wulfenite. This is clearly a more brilliant red with less orange tones. This degree of brilliance and color intensity was only seen in a few pieces, This is the best Thumbnail I have seen.

Esthetic and delicate, this is one of the finest of this style. The largest wulfenites are 1.6 CM and paper thin with brilliant red edges. There are several generations of epitaxial overgrowths of white cerussite that forms neat patterns on the faces. The wulfenite does have some broken crystals that are well overshadowed by the many large and perfect crystals that domiate the piece. As far as I know this style of coated wulfenite is unique to this single find, worldwide. This is certainly rare as well since there are very few pieces of any quality. This one is super attractive and a very good opportunity.

Rich deep orange color and glassy luster make this a very good eyecatcher. Crystals reach 2.4 CM in with many complete and well positioned. There is damage but in contect it is easy to overlook, yet it keeps this from a much higher price point.

A very cute and sparkling wulfenite cluster of delicate thin blades on a shard of matrix. some minor cerussite as well, but mostly wulfenite in crystals to just under 1 cm. Some chipped crystals can be found but as these are thinner than paper and incredibly fragile it is forgivable due to the many undamaged crystals. A very pretty Wulfenite for the price!

Simply stunning brilliant RED lusterous crystals covering a large complex matrix. Top killer esthetics and in remarkable condition (very few crystals have any chipping) this is a fantastic mineral specimen. We obtained this in China with the first finds of the Xinjiang wulfenite and it was the very best specimen found. It was sold immediately. Later finds produced some great specimens with larger crystals but none with better color. The style has not been found since and we are very happy to have this fine piece back to resell. This is the most intense possible red and will not be ignored in any display!

A very unusual and attractive Wulfenite of exceptional delicacy. This is an unusual habit for this find (and almost all wulfenite localities) that is a little like some older San Fransisco Mine and Tiger pieces, but not quite. This habit has irregular shaped blades with thin, tapered edges and seem to be complexly recrystalized and so seem very rounded and less geometric. The crystals are insanely thin sometimes thinner than a piece of paper. Consequentially there is edge damage in many areas, and some breakage but many of the larger crystals are relatively good and complete. For this ultra delicate style this is the best condition example I have seen, it A good piece for the collector who seeks the unusual and can accept some damage.

Fantastic bright red-orange color and eyecatching form, this is a very 3- dimensional crystal cluster. There is almost no matrix, just interlocked bright wulfenite. Some damage can be found but not badly detracting most of the major crystals are quite good and the overall quality is fine. This wulfenite has unusual geometric outlines on some crystals that show complex parellel intergrowths. Good luster and presentation, a very good value.
