Wulfenite with Calcite

A highly aesthetic rose with blades to 2.3cm. A preferential dusting of white calcite. Minor plattnerite on some blade tips. Very close examination of all of the blade edges reveals perhaps some material was lost from two blades (most are coated with calcite around the full edges but two are not. Although delicate, it is very sturdy. Look closely at the underside and between and find small gemmy vanadinites. Best example I have seen of this style.
