| Description | Several samples of wulfenite, PbMoO4,varying in colour from colourless to yellow, orange and red, have been characterised by means of IR and optical absorption spectroscopy and by microprobe analyses. A distinct pleochroic band group with absorption maxima centred at 3380 and 3150 cm-1 can be seen in the IR spectra of wulfenite single-crystals, indicating the presence of hydroxyl groups. |
