Mimetite (uncommon locale) Stoudt Coll.

Item Description

No, these mimetite specimens are not from San Pedro Corralitos. Even those are hard to get now, but this is an even rarer miniature of similar form and color from a completely different locality in Zacatecas - the Bilbao Mine. They are translucent, rich orange to yellow-orange botryoids with a silky luster and pretty 3-dimensionality on a massive sulfide matrix. From a one-time find in the 1950s, I am told. Ex Consie Prince Collection of Houston to the Dave Stoudt Collection. Excellent color and quality for this locality, with multiple fine display possibilities.
