New Find! Wulfenite from Ojuela

A beautiful wulfenite specimen from a very recent find at Mina Ojuela.  This occurance is notable for the layered appearance of the crystals.  Almost all have a dark core, with a lighter colored epitaxial growth of later genration wulfenite on either side of the crystal.  Basically, it makes them look like a cluster of (differently colored) Andes chocolates.
