Description

Orange wulfenite crystals on a delicate matrix from a newly discovered locality in the Alamo district of Western Arizona.   These specimens were discovered late last year by collectors searching remote corners of the state for new mineral localities.   This old prospect had a foot long exposed vein of wulfenite, showing that mineral collectors had likely never found their way before.
