Wulfenite - lead molybdate - is one of the most popular minerals for collectors because of its wonderful geometrically shaped crystals, stunning colours and bright lustre. This small miniature specimen from La Morita mine in Chihuahua, Mexico is a superb demonstration of this, featuring a single square-shaped tabular crystal with bevelled (chamfered) edges on one side rising up from a finely crystallized beige botryoidal Mimetite matrix. The Wulfenite crystal reaches 1.6 cm on edge and is a rich lemon curd yellow, with a translucency and lustre similar to lemon curd too! The crystal is almost perfection, almost, because it has the tiniest of nicks to one corner, but this really requires high magnification to spot. Otherwise, it is simply a gorgeous presentation of how beautiful Wulfenite can be.
