A very unusual combination from this famous mine. Mindat has merely a handful of this association and I would say this one is perhaps the highest quality I have ever seen. A heck of a specimen for an Arizona collector. Ex. Dennis Novak

Wulfenite
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.
