Mimetite with Wulfenite

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 featuring dozens of excellent orange-yellow color Mimetite aggregates in semi-spherical form measuring up to 6 mm long which are associated with a few lovely yellow, sharp, lustrous, gemmy tabular crystals of Wulfenite measuring up to 7 mm on edge sitting on matrix. No major damage, and the color is so eye-catching! 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.
