Wulfenite is a mineral composed of lead molybdate, with the chemical formula PbMoO4. It typically forms in a tetragonal crystal system and is known for its vibrant orange, yellow, or red colors. Wulfenite often occurs in the oxidized zones of lead deposits and is commonly found in association with other minerals such as galena and cerussite. This mineral is prized by collectors for its striking appearance and unique crystal shapes, which can be tabular or prismatic. Wulfenite is also used in some industrial applications, particularly in the production of molybdenum, an important metal in steel alloys.
