Item Description

Lustrous rich yellow colored semi-radial groups of Mimetites have grown all around the matrix on this specimen. An aesthetic example of an Ojeula Mine classic! The groups are elongated, and not narrow prisms, nor are they complete "spheres", but somewhere in between. The largest Mimetite measures 8 mm long. They have a distinct resinous luster and the fact that they are fairly well-separated and defined makes them all the more enticing. A few minor imperfections, but a VERY showy and three-dimensional display specimen of this classic material from Ojuela. Valued at $750.
