Sprinkled across the entire front of this specimen are thick, prismatic Wulfenite crystals set on a rusty limonitic matrix. The crystals display shallow surface texturing that enhances their luster and are saturated with a rich butterscotch color, showing characteristic internal zoning toward their centers. Several of the larger Wulfenite crystals are doubly terminated and reach up to 1.6 centimeters in length.
