Mimetite (2003 finds)

Item Description

A dramatic, rich, unusual and excellent large mimetite specimen from the 2003 finds at this well-known mine. This impressive piece hosts at least 5 generations of mimetite. Large, rich straw-yellow prisms, to 1.0 cm and some with hoppered terminations are aesthetically clustered on the upper right and are underlain by gemmy, golden-yellow spindles. The center of the piece is festooned with lustrous, straw-yellow spindles. A fantastic 2.0 cm mimetite curtain separates the classic, small mimetite barrels on the left. This is an exceptionally rich, very showy and uncommon large example with multiple crystal habits from the locale. Valued at $1500-1750.
