This piece is part of a large lot that I bought from a Moroccan miner. Here is your chance to get a nice wulfenite piece for a very reasonable price.

Wulfenite is a lead molybdate mineral typically found as thin tabular crystals with a bright orange-red, yellow-orange, yellow or yellowish grey colour in the oxidised zones of hydrothermal lead deposits.

It often occurs as stubby, pyramidal or tabular crystals. It also occurs as earthy, granular masses. It is found in many localities, associated with lead ores as a secondary mineral associated with the oxidized zone of lead deposits. It is also a secondary ore of molybdenum, and is a favorite among mineral collectors.
