A second parallel-growth crystal group below the main one measures 2 cm – this wulfenite is included, so that the colour is a mixed brown and red-orange. In excellent condition, a couple of small chips, most need magnification to see. […]

It seems to have formed around or against adjacent quartz crystals, but all surfaces are crystallized, so if that is the case, it did so and detached before the end of all crystallization processes. The crystal is […]
