This crystal was self collected from the Barking Spider (Finch) Mine in the Dripping Springs Mountains near Hayden, Arizona. This locality, near the famous 79 Mine was originally mined for flux for the copper smelter at Hayden, Arizona. The Barking Spider Mine has produced some of the most unique wulfenite specimens on this wonderous planet.
