Three transparent to opaque, orange wulfenite crystals, all in very nice condition and reaching 1.1 cm, on matrix. Small but abundant, colorless to purple fluorite cubes are present as well as a partial shroud of gypsum (not calcite; no reaction to HCl) over one of the wulfenites. Previous dealer label indicates the specimen was mined in March of 2003. Under longwave UV (blacklight) patches of the matrix glow and intense blue color. Under shortwave UV, specks (willemite) on the matrix glow a brilliant neon green, and even continue to glow noticeably (phosphorescence) after illumination is extinguished.
