Wulfenite is a lead molybdate mineral noted for its brilliant yellow-orange to red tabular crystal habit. The specimens originate from Plaka, Laurion in Greece, a historically significant mining district renowned since antiquity for silver and lead extraction. Within the old workings, weathering and hydrothermal activity produced exceptionally pure secondary minerals. This flat showcases the characteristic formation of Wulfenite on vein matrices.
Collectors prize these specimens for their vibrant color depth and well-defined crystal plates, which display beautifully in cabinets. Due to the rare combination of hue, habit, and provenance, this flat is a valuable addition to systematic collections. Wulfenite from Laurion is especially sought after by enthusiasts of classic European localities.
