Wulfenite
Regional guide
Wulfenite from Red Cloud Mine, Arizona, USA
Red Cloud wulfenite is the Arizona classic by which red wulfenite is still judged: lustrous, fiery orange-red to rose-red tablets of Pb(MoO4), typically poised on dark gossan, brecciated quartz, fluorite, or calcite-rich matrix. The best crystals have the combination serious collectors prize most—saturated color, high luster, sharp tetragonal form, translucency to transparency, and a certain improbable poise: thin square plates standing upright like red glass panes in a desert fissure.
