Item Description

Mimetite from Tsumeb is one of the most classic, and more difficult to obtain species in fine specimens. This piece features sharp, prismatic, bright yellow Mimetite crystals measuring up to 6 mm with minor Malachite. A very attractive smaller specimen, and nice quality for the material, especially from the standpoint of overall appeal. Tsumeb specimens are rising in value by the minute it seems, and pieces like this are always in demand these days.
