This piece does have a bit of damage to the crystals, like most of the production I’ve seen\/handled minus a handful of exceptional specimens. The color is a little darker that most Red Cloud Wulfenites. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWulfenite is a lead molybdate mineral, PbMoO4, prized for its bright orange-yellow to red-orange crystals. Wilhelm Karl von Haidinger renamed it in 1845 for Franz Xaver von Wulfen, and the name honors the Austrian Jesuit botanist and mineralogist; its vivid crystals are a classic collector favorite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Kuruktag Mountains in eastern Xinjiang, northwestern China are part of a remote Gobi landscape in the East Tianshan region. This area is geologically notable for mineralization ranging from Neoproterozoic to Quaternary age, reflecting a long and complex geologic history. Collector interest in the region is tied to its diverse mineral occurrences and the broader mineral-rich belts of eastern Xinjiang, where notable deposits and specimens have been documented.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Castle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49164524224667,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0336\/3012\/6217\/files\/22ffcc97-f287-4727-a023-5f7dad1b2d62.jpg?v=1785704545","url":"https:\/\/www.overtonfamilyjewels.com\/products\/auction-win-b0f67906-aceb-47f0-ba93-9997d65f1ff2","provider":"OFJ's Crystal Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
