Comment: Springfield, A very 3-dimensional specimen with stunning aesthetics, in that it has two stalks reaching up that display dramatically. Comes with lucite base for easy mounting, vertically, as shown. This specimen has crystals to just over 2 cm across, and is pristine on the stalks thought it has some small damaged crystals in the core of the lower portion of the piece (as does most of the find). This has the good "red" color for the find, more redthan orange.

Minerals: Wulfenite (PbMoO₄)
