Wulfenite from Kuruktag Mountains, Xinjiang, China

Wulfenite, 12.5 cm, in an unusual habit from the earliest finds around 2005 at the Jianshan mine, Kuruktag Mountains, Xinjiang, China. Formerly in the Steve Smale collection; I waited a decade to obtain this from him, finally succeeding via a painful exchange.
