Wulfenite

Whim Creek copper mine in Western Australia is not so well known on a world scale, but has produced a wealth of amazing, and unusual specimens. These include sensational pseudomorphs of Chrysocolla and Malachite after Azurite crystals and small, but superb Wulfenite crystals, most of which were collected during the early 1980s. This cabinet specimen doesn't feature those copper minerals, but is richly adorned with lustrous, light orange-yellow Wulfenite crystals, mostly bipyramidal, but also rare stacked pyramidal crystals measuring to 6 mm in length. These are evenly distributed over a large dome-like specimen of mixed banded botryoidal Goethite. An Australian classic, but big and showy too.
