WULFENITE Madson Lead Mine, Madison, NH 0.1 mm steep bipyramidal wulfenite crystal on quartz crystal with green pyromorphite	Species: WULFENITE Locality: Madison Lead Mine, Madison, NH Specimen Size: 0.1 mm steep bipyramidal wulfenite crystal on quartz crystal with green pyromorphite Field Collected: Bob Janules, ex Vince Valade Catalog No.: u437 Notes: These wulfenite crystals are VERY tiny, and are at the limit of what my photo equipment can capture. This wulfenite specimen is the only one that has been seen by author from the Madison Mine. Art Smith reported the occurrence of wulfenite from the Madison Lead Mine in Mineral News, vol. 17, no. 4, Apr. 2001. Art's article indicates the wulfenite crystals were often found embedded in clay and disappeared when cleaned in an ultrasonic. So, if you are fortunate enough to find one at Madison, be very careful when cleaning! There are two wulfenite crystals on this piece.
