Wulfenite

We have a new Wulfenite specimen from China on display in Hillman Hall of Minerals and Gems. It is a favorite mineral among collectors because of its bold colors and striking crystals.

Wulfenite is a molybdate of lead, which means it is made up of the metal lead mixed with molybdate ions. You can find it in the Systematic Collection alongside more Wulfenite specimens from Morocco, Arizona, and Mexico.
