Description

Even if wulfenite from Morocco are common, this locality (Aïcha Bel Lahcen) is certainly less known, scarcely represented in collections. This specimen features an aggregate of highly lustrous, thin tabular crystals of an intense yellow and orange colour, that are interpenetrated and cover richly all around the matrix.

We collected these specimens in September 2015.
