3.4" Bright Orange Wulfenite Cluster - Rowley Mine, AZ


This is a excellent, 3.4" wide cluster of lustrous, bright orange Wulfenite crystals on matrix from the Rowley Mine in Arizona. Excellent quality crystals with much less damage than is typically seen with these delicate crystals. The matrix is completely covered with very dense crystal formations, really an exceptional specimen.

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.

While these crystals are safe to hold, due to the fact that they are lead-based we strongly recommend washing your hands after handling.
