This small thumbnail specimen consists of many intersecting Wulfenite blades that rest on a dull, brown host rock. Though most of these blades are broken and incomplete, several are still intact. The largest of these has dimensions of 8 x 8 x 1 mm, and like the others, has excellent tetragonal bladed form, with sharp edges and clean faces. All have a slightly dull yellow coloration and a pearly luster, and are only dimly transparent due to a very thin covering of another material that I cannot identify. It also appears to form clusters of tiny, white radiating needles.
