One of Arizona’s most distinctive Wulfenite localities, the Finch Mine, (also called the Barking Spider Mine), produces this type of epimorph. The Wulfenite here is encased in druzy Quartz crystals but the color of the orange crystals below is seen through the colorless Quartz. A sprinkle of Hemimorphite is noted but the main focus is the tabular Wulfenites on contrasting vuggy Quartz matrix.
