Description
This is one excellent thumbnail with a huge, 2.4 cm measuring tabular Wulfenite crystal from the Red Cloud Mine. Great color, a deep orange and with a resinous luster. Sharp, typically beveled edges, and have I told you about the color? Look at this specimen you may understand why in the 1960s some (presumably successful) mineral collector scrawled PbMoO4 [Wulfenite] is LOVE on an old shed at the Red Cloud Mine. Peter Megaw once wrote “Wulfenite is as Arizonan as Saguaros, Gila Monsters and Snowbirds…and in 2017 was officially recognized by our Legislature as our Official State Mineral”.
