A nice example of wulfenite on matrix from the 2017 find at Mina Ojuela. This one is a bit unusual for the find-- for some reason, almost all the crystals just had 2 bands (a light and a dark) instead of having the dark one sandwiched between two lighter ones. In many places, the yellow wulfenite didn't even grow to entirely match the darker portion-- it's a bit odd because on virtually every other piece, the edges are perfect. I have no idea what the mineralogical reason for any of this is....
