#wulfenite
Minerals: Wulfenite
A lead molybdenite mineral with the formula PbMoO4, wulfenite is typically found in the form of thin tabular crystals that range from orange-red to yellow-orange in color, though it can also be brown. It was named for Austrian mineralogist Franz Xaver Freiherr von Wulfen, though it wasn’t named until decades after his death.
Wulfenite crystallizes in the tetragonal crystal system. It is a secondary ore for both lead and molybdenum but, though it can be used to extract both of these elements, other, more commons ores are typically used. As such, wulfenite is usually only used by collectors.

Wulfeniteallows one to accomplish the transition, from the physical plane to the psychic and astral planes quickly. The time which is usually required to alter ones state is dramatically decreased. It also can be used to promote contact with the spiritual world in the form one manifests; allowing for attunement to those of ancient civilizations, to those of the near distant past, or to those of futuristic worlds. It is quite useful for connecting to higher beings or to the higher self. It stimulates a bonding between souls who are on the Earth plane and have agreed to meet again during this lifetime.

Well this was just an absolutely fun find for me. For all those who sent their guesses from our Story post yesterday, here is the official answer: This is Dioptase on Wulfenite from Tiger, Pinal County, Arizona!! After 27 years in business, none of us have ever seen this combination together
We will be offering this rather unusual specimen on our Crystal Club on Monday.
For those who are not part of the Club and want more info, please send us a DM.
Happy Friday!
