2.5" Orange Hexagonal Wulfenite Crystal Cluster - Rowley Mine, AZ

This is a cluster of small, bright yellow-orange hexagonal wulfenite crystals on matrix from the Rowley Mine in Arizona. The specimen is 2.5 x 1.9" in size, and is very eye catching.

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.
