Mimetite (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

A lovely group of sparkling bright yellow Mimetites in semi-radial growth simply labeled as coming from Chihuahua, but specifically likely from Santa Eulalia. The piece is beautiful as it features a coverage on both side of gorgeous shimmering crystals. They look fantastic up close. This is certainly older, and less common looking material from the area, and would make a superb addition to any secondary ore mineral collection, a Mimetite suite or a collection of Mexican minerals. Valued at $700. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#5143). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
