Wulfenite coated with Calcite/ Cerussite
Tuokexun County, Tulufan Prefecture
Xinjiang Autonomous Region, China
3.4 x 3.3 x 2.9 CM (miniature)
price: $450
Worldwide mix summer
Free standing bright red Wulfenite crystals are epitaxially coated by a layer of Calcite. A few small flat white micro crystals are also included in the coating that had been x-rayed as Cerussites, but we have also been told there is some disagreement on that result. Either way, the specimen is very esthetic and this is a striking arrangement. In excellent condition as seen, this is from a find in 2010.
