This very rich small cabinet Wulfenite is from the classic 1990s finds at Touissit in the Touissit-Bou Beker District, Morocco. Richly invested with extremely glossy mustard-yellow interlocking and freestanding tabular Wulfenite crystals, ranging in size from 2 to 9 mm on edge, this specimen does standout. That said, there is damage (mainly missing fractured corners) to quite a few of the crystals, due in part to the density of the Wulfenite. This Moroccan material does present a slightly different appearance to other worldwide Wulfenites, meaning that it can be distinguished visually. Overall, this is a very nice Wulfenite for the price, and from a 'modern-era' classic occurrence which is no longer producing specimens.

Wulfenite from Touissit, Oriental Region, Morocco
Touissit wulfenite has a look of its own: warm yellow to butterscotch-orange tabular crystals, commonly with sharp beveled edges, spread over dark gossan, pale dolomite, or mixed oxidized lead-zinc matrix. The best pieces have a distinctly Moroccan brightness—less brick-red than many Red Cloud examples, less sugary and isolated than much Mibladen material, and often arranged as dense “windowpane” sprays or intergrown plates that catch light from several directions at once.
