Mimetite (classic material)

Item Description

Very attractive, grown to yellow colored, semi-radial groups of Mimetite have intergrown to create a lovely and three-dimensional display specimen. This piece is very aesthetic, and these Mimetites are regarded as classics from the famous Ojuela Mine. The actual shape of the Mimetites can be described as "elongated globular" groups as they are somewhat prismatic, and somewhat spherical, but neither word really describes them accurately. I love the sparkling / drusy, almost resinous luster on the piece, and I love that that the Mimetite groups are fairly well-separated and defined. The largest individual group measures 1.8 cm. Nearly every group is pristine, but I can see one contacted area, so it's not completely damage free. Priced at $700 in the inventory.
