Lead Molybdate. Wulfenite is a nice collection type mineral and is popular as such. Its strong colours, nice lustre and one-of-a-kind crystal habits attract the attention of many collectors around the world. This very small sample of Wulfernite came from the Red Cloud Mine, Yuma County, Arizona, USA. Wulfenite mined there had a distinct colour. The mine is now, unfortunately, closed and so pieces like this will become increasingly rarer.

Hardness: 3. Other characteristics.
