Rare wulfenite from Bleiberg, Austria. This is an exceptional group of wulfenites, perfectly located on the matrix. The crystals have a bright lemon-yellow to orange color, but there are also many rare green wulfenites with great luster and sharpness. To get a good green wulfenite from this location has become very difficult in the past, and this one is a piece from an old collection.
