2.5" Fiery Red Wulfenite Crystal Cluster - Kuruktag Mountains, China
This stunning cluster of red-orange wulfenite crystals comes out of the Kuruktag Mountains of Xinjiang, China. They exhibit a wonderful luster and required substantial effort to remove from the stone without damaging the crystals. The site these crystals come from is known as "Stone Crack", and is not to be confused with the famous nearby Jianshan Mine.
Comes with an acrylic display base and mineral tack.

About Wulfenite
Wulfenite is a lead-based molybdate mineral with a chemical formula Pb(MoO4). It forms as a secondary mineral in the oxidation zones of hydrothermal lead deposits, its color ranging anywhere between yellow to bright orange and red and occasionally brown. Typically forming as tabular, stubby, or pyramidal crystals, this unique mineral can be both brilliantly transparent and opaque.
Safety: While these crystals are safe to hold, due to the fact that they are lead-based we strongly recommend washing your hands after handling.
