Description/Interesting Notes:
An aesthetic example of dolomite and mimetite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen consists of a showy cast of dolomite after calcite in association
with mimetite!!! The dolomite cast is well formed, highly lustrous, and has a lively orange color!!! The handsome orange
color grades aesthetically to a lighter, yellowish orange toward the bottom of the specimen as well!!! There are a few scattered groups of acicular,
near colorless, whitish mimetite crystals on the surface of the cast and a dense showing of similar mimetite crystals on the reverse!!! Upon
close inspection, one can see the mimetite crystals are comprised of bundles of colorless acicular crystals!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 14th!!!
