Wulfenite

Unknown Owner
A saturated cluster of wulfenite blades on crystalline calcite matrix from the famous Red Cloud Mine in Arizona. The entire surfaces glitters with sharp terminations, and the largest wulfenite crystal measures 1.1 cm on edge. In pristine condition, I note no damage to the display face. Ex. Mel Bersch

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.
