Wulfenites were never found in large quantity at Tsumeb, compared to dioptase, azurite, cerussite and other more familiar Tsumeb minerals. Consequently, they do not turn up on the market very often. This one features several lustrous crystals of butterscotch color, with fine luster, to one centimeter on edge. The matrix is covered with calcites and little sparkly wulfenites.
