Two super crystals of classic, much sought-after Red Cloud mine Wulfenite are displayed to full impact against a dark matrix. Crystals measuring to 1.8 cm show a characteristic tabular habit with bevelled edges, of vivid reddish orange with a bright glassy lustre. The Wulfenite crystals are translucent and once backlit, become a spectacular neon orange edged with apricot. The matrix is a druse of closely bladed Calcite crystals with iron-manganese oxide inclusions. A fine specimen from perhaps the USA's most well-known Wulfenite locality.

Regional guide
Wulfenite from Red Cloud Mine, Arizona, USA
Red Cloud wulfenite is the Arizona classic by which red wulfenite is still judged: lustrous, fiery orange-red to rose-red tablets of Pb(MoO4), typically poised on dark gossan, brecciated quartz, fluorite, or calcite-rich matrix. The best crystals have the combination serious collectors prize most—saturated color, high luster, sharp tetragonal form, translucency to transparency, and a certain improbable poise: thin square plates standing upright like red glass panes in a desert fissure.
