A wulfenite specimen from a new find at a new locality near the better known Mt. Malosa locality. This is either the first or second recorded occurrence of wulfenite in Malawi, either way it's incredibly rare material and I figured with the number of wulfenite collectors out there, these would appeal to somebody.
This is my favorite piece of those that I selected, the ball of crude wulfenites joins two aegirine crystals into a nice, sculptural little miniature.
Given it's size, there is surprisingly little wulfenite reported from Africa-- aside from Tsumeb, M'Fouati and a couple localities in Morocco, very little of the species comes from the continent
