Wulfenite

Mfouati, Mfouati District, Bouenza Department, Republic of Congo

1,5×1,5×1 cm.

Intense orange color for this beautiful translucent to transparent Wulfenite; this crystal has very sharp and shiny faces and clearly visible black inclusions inside. Excellent specimen from this classic location where mining was conducted only for a short period in the 1960s, so specimens from Mfouati are considered quite rare.
