Item Description

Lustrous, translucent, pistachio-green, grape-like clusters of various sized mimetite botryoids blanket the small matrix on this extremely rich, highly sculptural, 3-dimensional specimen from this obscure Mexican mine. Scattered, flattened, glassy quartz blades (tridymite?) are an unusual, rare and excellent accent. Older material and seldom on the market. Ex James Zigras Mexico Collection.
