Rich plate of bright orange color wulfenite crystals, elegantly laid on white-grey dolostone. Wulfenite displays textbook bipyramidal crystals with evident color zoning, ranging from canary yellow to saturated orange. Main crystals are often intergrown or overlay grey calcite, and overall the specimen shows a remarkable color contrasts.
