Mimetite

Item Description

Superb small cab! When the Chinese Mimetites from Pintouling first appeared in early 2003, they arguably became the finest ever found, anywhere, except perhaps a dozen Tsumeb pieces of different style from one pocket in the 1970s. Certainly nothing like this has been seen for Mimetite in recent times. It is a cluster of intergrown, barrel-shaped, glassy and gemmy, yellow-orange crystals, to about .6 cm. They are large in size and the piece is well balanced. Spectacular display specimen! Much better in person, even. valued $1500 - from the old find circa 1999
