Item Description

This piece came to us with a hand written label from an unknown collector / dealer that simply states it's Minium (plus Lead Carbonates) from a place called "Mina El Chichi" in Sinaloa, Mexico. I have no doubt that the piece is in fact Minium, but I have no idea about the locality. Bright reddish-orange Minium coats the underlying oxidized matrix. A oddity for sure based upon the locality, and certainly a cool piece to add to a seconday ore collection.
