Mimetite (2013 find)

Item Description

Sparkly, sugary, translucent, rich orange elongated mimetite botryoids are attractively festooned on all sides of the sturdy sculptural gossan matrix on this striking small cabinet from the limited 2013 finds at famed Mina Ojuela. The mimetites reach 2.0 cm on this multi-generational piece. Complete all-around and in great shape for all of the crystal density. The one broken botryoid is out-of-sight on the back side and the bit of periphery wear to smaller crystals around the base are certainly minimal detractions. There are a few hard-to-see tiny glassy wulfenite windowpanes by small mimetites at the base. Excellent material for the find and locale.
