Wulfenite
Urumqi,
Kuruktag Mountains, Xinjiang Uygur Region, Northern China
8.8x 6.0x 2.7 cm
$750
I was lucky
enough to find one Chinese dealer who had wulfenites of decent quality.
It seemed that any of the non-Chinese dealers who had any were asking
ridiculous prices.
Most of the
Urumqi wulfenites show large amounts of shattered crystals, and the color
is generally not as bright. The color on this one approaches that of Red
Cloud. While it does have a couple blemishes, the largest crystals are
intact, and it glows under the correct lighting.
