Well formed, double terminated Wulfenite crystals which are a yellow/orange color have grown on a matrix of a dark gray, unidentified material. A few of the larger crystals have complex terminations composed of multiple points. THe crystals have a high glossy luster. Please note: the color of the matrix in some of the pictures has a greenish cast. This is not true in person but adjusting the color of the matrix would also change the color the Wulfenite crystals. Interestingly, the specimen is from a location where similar Wulfenite specimens are found on green colored Mimetite.

Condition: Good

Flaws: There are a few incomplete crystals which are not noticeable because they are broken off at the matrix. One needs to scrutinize the specimen closely to find them and this does not affect the appearance of the specimen.
