Details

Wulfenite is a lead molybdate mineral that often forms thin tabular crystals, bright orange-red to yellow-orange, sometimes brown, though Wikipedia notes the colour is highly variable. It forms in the oxidised zone of lead deposits and is a secondary ore of molybdenum. Hall describes small crystals or blades on a matrix, or large transparent squarish crystals, available from specialist stores. Hall associates wulfenite with accepting and integrating the shadow side of the self and with moving between physical and spiritual levels, and with contact and communication with the spiritual world. She also describes it as a stone for white magic, supporting ritual working and recovering magical knowledge from other lives, and says it preserves energy but has no specific healing attributes. These are Hall's attributions.
