AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The specimen shows a single, well-developed wulfenite crystal with an orange to brownish-orange color, positioned on a matrix coated with fine, brown endlichite (arsenatian vanadinite) crystals. The wulfenite crystal displays the typical tabular habit with visible growth patterns and minor natural surface etching. Endlichite forms a dense microcrystalline coating on the matrix, providing a contrasting background.
The specimen is intact with the wulfenite crystal securely attached to the host rock. Minor natural contact areas and surface texture are consistent with material from this locality.
