2.85" Yellow-Orange Wulfenite Crystal Cluster - La Morita Mine, Mexico
This is an intriguing formation of orange-gold wulfenite crystals collected from the La Morita Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico. The wulfenite crystals exhibit a wonderful silky-satin luster that makes a great display piece. Some of the larger crystals have a nice glassy luster that really sets the piece off!
It comes with an acrylic display stand.

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.
