Description

Even if wulfenite from Morocco are common, this locality (Aïcha Bel Lahcen) is certainly less known, scarcely represented in collections. This specimen features a floater rounded block of galena richly covered all around by highly lustrous, tabular crystals of an intense orange coloured wulfenite, with white cerussite and calcite.

We collected these specimens in September 2015.
