Valentine Cain' Vintage 1970s Wulfenite, Ojuela Mine, Mexico (165g)

A rare survivor from the golden era of Mexican mineralogy, boasting a pedigree of equal brilliance. This 165g Wulfenite specimen hails from the legendary Ojuela Mine and the esteemed collection of Richard Valentine Cain. Sourced through the London mineral market in the 1970s, it represents the peak 'Golden Age' of Mapimí production. We curated this piece for its extraordinary color palette; the tabular crystals range from a fiery orange-red to a sophisticated, deep chocolate-brown. Perched on a contrasting matrix of white calcite and limonite, these lustrous blades exhibit a level of sharp, geometric perfection that defined the era. It is more than a specimen—it is a storied artifact of 20th-century collecting history.
