7.7 x 6.4 x 5.1 cm. Transparent, lustrous, golden-yellow, windowpane wulfenite crystals to 1.8 cm are richly and aesthetically strewn on botryoidal mimetite-covered matrix on this fine specimen from the famous San Francisco Mine of Mexico. The crystals are extremely robust, and thick for the locality. The wulfenites have sharp, beveled edges.
