Item Description
The Ojuela Mine is one of the most iconic mineral producing localities in Mexico, which has produced some of the most iconic mineral specimens in the history of mining in this country. Here we have a beautiful specimen of excellent orange-yellow color Mimetite in semi-spherical aggregates measuring up to 1.3 cm long which are associated with a few lovely yellow, sharp, lustrous, gemmy tabular crystals of Wulfenite measuring up to 1.0 cm free of matrix. This particular combination of yellow Mimetite and yellow Wulfenite and is not terribly common from this locality. We've seen plenty of green Mimetites from the Ojuela Mine often associated with Wulfenite, but the yellow material is older, and to my mind, less common than the green. This piece came out around 40 years ago.
