Item Description

Mimetite from Tsumeb is one of the most classic, and more difficult to obtain species in fine specimens. This piece features spherical bright yellow Mimetite "balls" measuring up to 3 mm on matrix. A very attractive small specimen, and pretty good quality for the material, especially from the standpoint of nice isolated Mimetites on matrix. Tsumeb specimens are rising in value by the minute it seems, and pieces like this are always in demand these days.
