Item Description
Choice Mimetite from the famous late 1960/early 1970's find at San Pedro Corralitos, Mexico. Translucent, yellow-orange botryoids are plentiful on this miniature, and up to 8 mm individually. The luster is good, and the color is very uniform and pleasing. Mimetites such as this were collected in a single, large find at the end of 1968 and start of 1969 by Benny Fenn (right before the Tucson show of that year). This was literally a small prospect that never panned out, nor did it produce more specimens again. Highly representative, classic, and aesthetic, these Mimetites are quite hard to come by today. From the noted historic classics collection of Richard 'Dick' Hauck of New Jersey.
