The large crystal here is 3.2 cm, and fat, for a wulfenite from any locality. But it is a rare yellow wulfenite from the Mvouti Mine, worked in the late 1960s I am told. This is an interesting piece in that it is both large and has associated matrix - something not often seen. The contrast of the sparkling white quartz on yellow wulfenite is very interesting and unusual - again, I think unique to this locality.
