Mining Natures Treasures with Jim and Dave Jim Mellos

Wulfenite. The mineral that is formed by super-heated mineral rich water being forced up from deep within the earth and into the cracks in the bedrock. The minerals collect on each other as the water slowly cools and recedes leaving the cracks and pockets lined with fluorite and wulfenite crystals. This is what Dave and I were searching for. The red orange crystals were calling to us and we just had to respond. Would this be the day we strike it rich or will we strike out? Join us on another one of our wild adventures as we head out in search of the infamous wulfenite.
