| A variety of Wulfenite Tungsten-rich variety of wulfenite. It was proposed as a new mineral, but is considered a structural variant of wulfenite (unlike wulfenite, it crystallises in space group I4 due to W-Mo ordering; Jury et al., 2001). Originally described from Christmas Gift Mine, Chillagoe, Chillagoe-Herberton District, Queensland, Australia. | ||||||||
