DESCRIPTION
A very sculptural and tri-dimensional assemble of intense orange Wulfenite crystals - one of the main crystals shows a dark red razor sharp zoning - this is caused by inclusions of Vanadinite. This material exists only in limited quantity from rediscovered historic mines, which collapsed only after a few weeks of production. There is an article about the discovery on the Viamineralia-website.
