Mimetite

Item Description

Striking, cauliflower head-shaped tapered clusters of lustrous, translucent, honey-brown mimetite prisms richly and aesthetically cover the large triangular matrix on this showy and excellent specimen from the famous mines at Santa Eulalia. The clusters reach 1.5 cm in width and height. A few partially hidden calcite rhombs are a nice accent. The interior is in great shape, with very few broken crystals and the noted periphery wear is certainly only a modest detraction to this sculptural, rich and highly representative large example of this classic Santa Eulalia varietal.
