| Description |
These are some very interesting examples of an unusual combination mineral - bright orange Wulfenite and light purple Fluorite in association from an unnamed claim in La Paz Arizona. This material is very attractive with a pleasing color contrast. The groundmass is quite soft and fragile, it appears to be a vesicular light gray lava rock - handle this material very carefully! An order of this specimen will provide you with one randomly selected miniature or small cabinet piece from our very limited stock. |
