Long a favorite of gem collectors, faceted Wulfenite is a sight to behold.  If done right, the optical properties of the mineral, particularly the visible dispersion, is very impressive.  On occasion, this is paired with an intense and saturated bodycolor - this is usually the case with some fine ‘lemon’ yellow stones from Tsumeb. What we have here is even scarcer, an intense yellow-orange that we don’t often see in faceted stones - from a deposit in another part of Namibia.  Great polish, fine cutting and nicely dispersive, this is a lovely collector's piece.  Difficult to facet and so we never are able to offer many of these, let alone in such a fine and unusual color.
