1.7" Orange Windowpane Wulfenite Cluster - Rowley Mine

Orange Windowpane Wulfenite Cluster - Rowley Mine #49368

This is a cluster of small, bright orange windowpane Wulfenite crystals on matrix from the Rowley Mine in Arizona. The specimen is 1.7 x 1.4" in size, and is very eye catching. Most of the crystals are full and intact, however there is some slight chipping on a couple of crystals.

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.
