Cluster of chocolate sándwiches or toffee-tastees Wulfenite crystals from Ojuela Mine.
They have a dark core, with a mustard colored growth of later generation Wulfenite on both sides of the dark crystal. |
Dear FJ
Nice cluster of crystals. They look like chocolate treats. I would like to get them under my microscope. I might have to buy a cluster for said purpose.
Regards
RA
