Description:A glorious, very sharp, 1.2 cm, doubly-terminated mimetite perched perfectly on just the right amount of matrix. The lustre and color are both very good, and the crystal is gemmy. If you ever wanted an outstanding thumbnail specimen from the famous 'Gem Pocket' of 1972, this is your chance. They do not come available very often! These are considered to be the finest examples of the species on the planet. Fairly valued at $750-1000
