Lustrous, sharply formed tabular crystals of wulfenite to 1.5 cm from the legendary Tsumeb Mine, Oshikoto Region, Namibia. The crystals are in very good condition with strong luster and clean edges, offering the classic look that has made Tsumeb a benchmark locality for mineral collectors. Wulfenite is a lead molybdate that most commonly forms as thin tabular crystals in the oxidation zones of lead deposits, and it is prized for its bright luster and crisp crystal habit. Tsumeb is a world-famous polymetallic Cu-Pb-Zn deposit celebrated for extraordinary mineral diversity and oxidized zone mineralogy; published accounts describe hundreds of mineral species from the mine and highlight its complex supergene and oxidation assemblages, which is exactly the environment where fine wulfenite occurs.
