Item Description

A RARE, super-rich and showy two-sided combination crust from this well-known old Tombstone District mine. Mimetite is RARE from here. Both sides of the very vuggy crust are festooned with orange and yellow mimetite botryoids and classic for the locale, glassy yellow and butterscotch-colored wulfenite windowpanes, to 7 mm. This must have been a significant find, as even the mine level is known. The 450' level is the bottom of the mine (MINDAT). Choice, RARE, rich and desirable combination material from the Bruce Murphy Collection. A MUST for the Arizona or species collector.
