Wulfenite
Regional guide
Wulfenite from Touissit, Oriental Region, Morocco
Touissit wulfenite has a look of its own: warm yellow to butterscotch-orange tabular crystals, commonly with sharp beveled edges, spread over dark gossan, pale dolomite, or mixed oxidized lead-zinc matrix. The best pieces have a distinctly Moroccan brightness—less brick-red than many Red Cloud examples, less sugary and isolated than much Mibladen material, and often arranged as dense “windowpane” sprays or intergrown plates that catch light from several directions at once.
