2.5" Orange Wulfenite Crystals on Matrix - Mexico
This specimen contains blocky, orange wulfenite crystals protruding from a limonitic matrix, collected from the Qjuela Mine in Mapimi, Mexico.
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.
