2.2" Gemmy, Wulfenite & Calcite Association - Slovenia
This is a 2.2" wide wulfenite crystal cluster in association with calcite. It was collected from the Mezica mines in Mezica, Slovenia. The gemmy, honey orange color of the wulfenite pairs nicely with the translucent calcite crystals on the beige matrix.
It was mounted on an acrylic base for optimal presentation.

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.
