My initial thoughts were that it was either really bad, or (because of the provenance) perhaps very good. Peter Megaw kindly took notice and advised me the following about it: "This is not an uncommon association with the vanadinite coating the wulfenite, but this has the wulfenite exceptionally well exposed, which is unusual..."
