Wulfenite with Mimetite - classic USA (Ref: 14.1-329)
Mammoth -St Anthony Mine, Tiger, Mammoth District, Pinal County, Arizona, United States
34mm x 28mm x 32mm
Free standing Wulfenite crystals with complex forms on a yellow-orange mass of tiny Mimetite clusters and balls. From the legendary Tiger area, these long closed mines are one of the most revered mineral localities in the USA. An older specimen from the L. Sweetman collection with handwritten label. Some damage and edge roughness exists so not for perfectionists but the main crystal is in fairly good condition and is a nice example of this habit. At one time Wulfenite was mined as a molybdenum ore here, the only place in the world where this was done. Tons were crushed and very little survived.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
