	BR617. Wulfenite. Ojuela mine, Mapimi, Durango, Mexico. 3 x 2.5 x 1.5 cm 18g $735.00. Purportedly a very old Ojuela specimen, glassy, honey orange crystals to 2.5 cm. Ex: Clay Williams coll# CW-1034. Ex: Earth’s Treasures. Photos do not do this one justice. Crystals are partly transparent. A classic, very rare, prime quality. These old pieces like this are unheard of for sale these days. As a personal note, this may be mislabeled...all the old Ojuela wulfenites I have seen over the years are more yellow with a thin blade like habit. Los Lamentos (Erupcion mine), much older pieces, look similar to this one.

	JC13923. Mimetite, calcite. Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, Mexico. 5.3 x 2.7 x 1.6cm 66g $40.00 Prismatic yellow orange crystals. They are small and very sparkly. Some like this were around about 2010, and quickly vanished from the market. These showed up at Tucson this year in one dealers venue. He only had half a dozen or so of decent quality, and they apparently are from the same area in the mine and recently collected,....he wasn't sure which mine, but thought the San Antonio mine. The last 3 of these I have are offered here.
