1.7" Tabular Wulfenite Crystal Cluster - Touissit, Morocco

This specimen is composed of small and medium sized wulfenite crystals. The matrix that holds the larger wulfenite crystals together is primarily comprised of very small wulfenite crystals. It was collected from Touissit, Morocco.

Wulfenite is a lead-based molybdate mineral with a chemical formula Pb(MoO4). It forms as a secondary mineral in the oxidation zones of hydrothermal lead deposits, its color ranging anywhere between yellow to bright orange and red and occasionally brown. Typically forming as tabular, stubby, or pyramidal crystals, this unique mineral can be both brilliantly transparent and opaque.

While these crystals are safe to hold, due to the fact that they are lead-based we strongly recommend washing your hands after handling.
