Item Description

This is a very rare mimetite from the famous "Hat Yai" mimetite locality, as it was first given at the time. It came out, apparently in full, at the Tucson show one year in the late 1990s. I remember getting to the dealer's room at the old Executive Inn hotel show location once I heard the news and seeing several tables of this gorgeous material! It sold out immediately, and we never saw much more of it again. Today, we know it came from the Guatomo mine, but if more has been found - it is few and far between and not in the news. This is a true rarity, a modern and rare one-off find, and considered a surprise for the species. This piece is a thin plate with sparkling, golden crystals to 3 or 4 mm.
