Description: Descloizite Chah Mileh mine, Anarak city, Esfahan province, Iran The matrix is actually a large descloizite crystal that has been pseudomorphed by a mixture of cerussite, mimetite, wulfenite, and possibly anglesite. Over that has grown a second generation of mimetite crystals, and a few bright orange wulfenites. This is truly an exceptional miniature, and an example of material only found in Iran. This specimen consists of a big crystal of Wulfenite too ( in left of photo )
