Summary[edit]

Description
English: Wulfenite
Locality: Red Cloud Mine, Silver District, Trigo Mts, La Paz County, Arizona, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 4.6 x 4.5 x 2.4 cm.
I had the great privilege of seeing the Kosnar family collection when I was a younger dealer, and out of all the fabulous classics that stuck with my mind as I left afterwards, the suite of windowpane gem wulfenites is probably what struck me the most. I had no idea such things existed from the Red Cloud Mine - very different from material of other pockets I had seen in gemminess and in the superb lustre of the crystals. Apparently, these had been collected in one small pocket by a field collector, Leigh Price, in 1967 - and simply tucked away in his and his friends' collections. The major crystal here is approximately an inch on each edge, and a little more than that measured across. It is so gemmy you can look into it, and has the highest glassy lustre I have ever seen on any wulfenite specimen from any locality. The surface is like Windex-ed glass, slick and glassy. The major crystal is totally pristine, too. A subtle feature of the large central crystal is the slight contouring of the front face. It is not perfectly flat, but rather has growth curves and patterns on it that reflect the light intricately. Again, I have never seen a wulfenite quite like it. This one, to me, is totally unique and I am told also was among the largest crystals found that day in 1967. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.
