Mimetite (classic material)

Item Description

A wonderful thumbnail specimen featuring very attractive, intergrown rich yellow colored, semi-radial groups of Mimetite without matrix. This piece is very aesthetic as you can see from the photos. These gorgeous Mimetites are classics from the famous Ojuela Mine. If I had to describe the form / shape of the Mimetites, I guess the best term I could come up with would be "elongated globular" groups as they are somewhat prismatic and somewhat spherical, but neither word really describes them accurately. I love the semi-drusy resinous luster on the piece and for a smaller specimen, I apprecaite that the Mimetites are still well-separated and defined. A great, showy and three-dimensional thumbnail of this wonderful older material.
