FOV=1.8 cm. On this specimen, where the wulfenite is associated with green mimetite, the central zones tend to be transparent and the overall luster very glassy. Where mimetite is absent, the wulfenite is less transparent and waxy. There are two clusters of calcite crystals in the lower right quadrant. One stereo image in this series. Collection and photo, T. Peterson.
