Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of mimetite from this rare Mexican locality!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of both botryoidal and
complexly crystalline mimetite!!! The mimetite crystals range in color from deep orange to white!!! There are also
blackish colored patches that host some
micro crystals of what appears to be descloizite!!! The crystals consists of botryoidal groups and
complex, rounded hexagonal prisms!!! The mimetite has sparkling luster and marked translucence!!! Rare, old time material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! (It was suggested that
the white colored areas may be a calcium-rich mimetite)
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY MARCH 10th!!!
