Description

Even if wulfenite from Morocco are common, this locality (Aïcha Bel Lahcen) is certainly less known, scarcely represented in collections. We found this specimens in September 2015. It features highly lustrous, well-defined thin tabular crystals of an intense yellow and orange colour. The specimen is an aggregate composed almost exclusively by interpenetrated wulfenite on iron hydroxides.
