New Wulfenite discovery !

[adam 2,885]

Mrs. Boulder dash, boulder dash,  and I  all entered a mine tunnel  and located a seam of Wulfenite .. Cerussite was abundant as well but few defined crystals were found. I`m definitely heading back to dig on the seam with propper tools.

Field of view is about one inch.

Cool find Adam   Does that stuff make all kinds of cool colors  if you put a UV light on it? 

I was playing around with some of my rocks and it is amazing the colors that appear.

HI Tom, 

I do not own a short wave lamp, but sure wish I did. Maybe someday I can pick up a portable one. Thats a great question. 

Wickenburg area has alot of fluorescents. Look  up the purple passion mine

wit, don and me made a trip to red cloud mine north of yuma in 1975.

wit went down on a boarswain chair and very carefully chip them out and fill an egg carton. ended up with 18 dozen. red crystals. sure didn't take long to sell them. don has a couple left in his show case, along with a fozzelized 7" rib bone with many other gem stones. every time me stops to see don, admire them.
