Wulfenite Crystals - Height: 16 cm - Width: 12 cm- 1531 g - (1)

Wulfenite is a lead molybdate mineral recognized for its striking tabular crystals and brilliant orange to reddish-orange hues, though colors can range to yellow or brown. It typically forms as thin, plate-like crystals on oxidized lead ore deposits, making it a prized specimen among mineral collectors. The crystal cluster here, with notable size, showcases well-developed crystals that highlight the mineral's distinctive luster and color saturation. Due to its relative softness and brittleness, wulfenite specimens require careful handling. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, wulfenite offers insights into secondary mineral formation processes in oxidized lead environments and is often used as a minor ore for molybdenum extraction in some areas.
