Mimetite on Barite (rare combo - classic locale)

Item Description

An outstanding, rare and showy combination specimen from this ancient lead mine. This striking old-timer features rich clusters of translucent, straw-yellow, mimetite botryoids covering a dramatic, sculptural, diverging spray of lustrous, blue-gray, parallel-growth, barite blades. The imposing crown of this piece looks like a diverging cockscomb. Barite specimens are very rare from this historic locale.
