Red-orange Alacranite with yellow Wulfenite Field of view: 1.6mm The label just mentions Kamchatka/Russia for locality, but most probably it is from the TL. The yellow crystals were originally labeled as wulfenite. But EDS-analysis shows it is most probably Orpiment or Uzonite (55% S, 45% As). Collection and photo: Marko Burkhardt
