Terminated and well formed tabular orange Wulfenite crystals populate a couple open areas on this specimen, with some Mottramite present as well. One of the richest ore bodies in the world, the Tsumeb Mine produced millions of tons of metallic ores as well as numerous varieties of minerals, in all sorts of combinations! Wulfenite is one of the main species collectors go for from this locale. This is a keeper for sure!
