Yellow tabular wulfenite crystals with mimetite on matrix, from the Ojuela Mine, Mapimí, Durango, Mexico.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From our selection of collectible minerals, we propose a rare group of Wulfenite with Mimetite crystals from Ojuela Mine, Mapimí, Mexico.
Furthermore, it is characterized by tabular crystals of intense yellow color, well-formed and arranged on matrix, with good transparency and sharp crystal faces that enhance its aesthetic value and mineralogical importance. The specimen stands out for the quality of crystallization and for the overall aesthetic balance, with features that highlight its natural structure and visual impact.
Wulfenite is a lead molybdate whose characteristic yellow-orange color derives from the presence of molybdenum in the crystal lattice; it typically forms in the oxidation zones of lead and zinc deposits. Ojuela Mine, active since the 19th century in Durango state, is one of the world’s most famous localities for the variety and quality of its secondary minerals, including Wulfenite and Mimetite. Mimetite, a lead arsenate, often associates with Wulfenite in these deposits, giving rise to combinations highly appreciated by collectors.
This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also in the context of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species.
All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, with rare exceptions always noted in the description. The photographs are taken with professional lighting to best bring out colors and details; however, slight color variations may occur depending on the device or ambient light.
Shipping is carried out via reliable, selected express couriers, with fast delivery (in many cases 1-2 working days in Europe), tracked and insured shipping and professional, safe packaging, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries may also occur the day after payment depending on the destination.
It is possible to accumulate multiple purchases and receive them in a single shipment, even from auctions with different deadlines, simply contact us to organize the consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European trades shows is also available.
