Item Description

Unusually discrete spheres of mimetite with satiny luster along with a classic intense sunflower-golden color, are emplaced on a color contrasting ocherous matrix. The spheres reach 6 mm across. They are so intensely colored, they look fake, in person. This is from the famous 1969 find and has a distinct style to it, and is a large and highly display-worthy plate. Valued $1000.
