Collection: Wulfenite

Wulfenite is a lead molybdate mineral with the chemical formula PbMoO₄, known for forming thin, tabular crystals that often display brilliant colors, most commonly orange, red, yellow, or brown. It is prized by mineral collectors for its high luster, vibrant hues, and well-defined crystal shapes. Wulfenite is typically found in the oxidized zones of lead ore deposits and is named after Franz Xavier von Wulfen, an 18th-century Austrian mineralogist.
