Item Description

Lustrous rich yellow colored semi-radial groups of Mimetites have grown all over the underlying angular. Upon close inspection, I can actually see a few small Wulfenite crystals on the piece. An aesthetic and eye-catching example of an Ojeula Mine classic! The Mimetites measure up to 1.1 cm, and are elongated, but not narrow prisms, nor are they complete "spheres", but somewhere in between. The Mimetites have a distinct resinous luster and the fact that they are fairly well-separated and defined makes them all the more enticing. A showy and three-dimensional display specimen of this classic material from Ojuela. Priced at $1,600 in the inventory.
