Description:An excellent, old-time, mimetite variety campylite specimen from the historic Dry Gill Mine of Cumbria. A large, 1.4 cm, lustrous, orange-brown, curved barrel-shaped mimetite prism (campylite) is aesthetically placed on the boxwork milky quartz matrix. Dry Gill was active as an ore producer from 1830-1869. Fine pieces were recovered in recent times, but this is definitely a 19th century piece by the style of it. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection. Valued at $500-750.
