Item Description

Intense fiery colored semi-spherical crystal aggregates of strong reddish-orange colored Mimetite play host to a few bladed gemmy tabular crystals of Wulfenite on white Barite and brown gossan matrix from this famous and historic mine in southwestern Arizona. The largest Mimetite "ball" measures 7 mm across, and the largest Wulfenite measures 5 mm on edge. A beautiful small miniature display specimen that would make a great addition to any suite of secondary ore minerals, lead minerals or specimens from Arizona. There is a bit of roughness in places, where the piece was separated from the pocket wall, so the piece is not pristine, but you almost never see Mimetite with this intense color from any locality.
