Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous, lemon-yellow to golden-orange, color-zoned crystals to 1.1 cm RICHLY and aesthetically cover the gossan matrix plate on this gorgeous and beautiful miniature. These lustrous, bright mimetites represented a very important new find for the species when they came out 5 or 6 years ago, but they were so extraordinarily expensive in specimens of quality that many people missed out on them. I am glad to have gotten a small batch lately that were reasonably priced enough for me to be able to offer them at auction. This very fine miniature has large crystals with excellent quality and rich coverage. Valued at ???
