I agree with Steve - the Rowley Mine has to be towards the top of any list - gemmy, lustrous windows with mimetite association. This photo shows a Rowley window with a mimetite spray growing thru the window - excellent!
I would also include the Old Yuma Mine in the list.

You're right, guys, the Rowley Mine is a great place for wulfenite, I should actually add it to my favourites.

What about Tsumeb? Or the famous Moroccan localities? Don't forget the Chinese wulfies ... There are so many places!

Since Volkmar mentioned the Moroccan locality, I will include a photo of a wulfenite from that location. Also, don't forget the Glove Mine in Arizona, and Chah Milleh Mine in Iran.

How about one from the Red Cloud? The association with quartz is uncommon. There were only a half dozen specimens from the pocket. All of the others were thumbnails.

I have to apologize for the color. For some reason it did not translate through to this site. It is a very good Red Cloud red.

I just remembered I have a specimen of the black wulfenite from the Glove Mine. Not sure exactly where it is at the moment (in a box somewhere).
Anyone know if the cause of the black colour has been worked out?

I agree with a few others that the Rowley Mine has to rank close to the top for wulfenite localities.
Also, no one mentioned Mezica, Slovenia.

pretty sure that the black is due to included manganese oxides. other localities show dark brown or near black wulfenites (San Francisco, Tiger, 79 Mine) but the Glove had the best for lustrous sheer black (although i don't think the crystals ever got more than about 1cm.
here's a nice one i collected in 1985 with Dave Shannon.

I agree with Bob. There are a lot of manganese oxides in the Glove mine. There is even coronadoite coating and replacing the wulfenite.

Les - ooooo-la-la - that Red Cloud is a real gem - as is the calcite from Magma you posted on the other thread.
And - one more of my favorite AZ wulf localities - the Finch Mine (aka the Barking Spider - although for "some reason" this is not a formal locality on the list!!). These are covered with a quartz druze and sometimes hemimorphite. Seems like very few of these got out of AZ.
My generic answer to Tobi's original post: my favorite Wulf locality? - ARIZONA!!!
