Field CollectingColorless wulfenite?

18th Dec 2006 20:05 UTCPaul Gilmore Expert

Can wulfnite be colorless? From a zinc-copper-lead-you name it mine in the Goodpsrings district of Nevada (the Yellow Pine Mine) I have countless minute crystals of a habit typical of wulfenite (square tablets with beveled edges), but are colorless and clear. I don't think it's hemimorphite.

Yes, wulfenite can be colorless.

Not exactly colorless but milky & translucide.

Jean-Marc.
