Wulfenite, Mimetite from San Francisco Mine (Cerro Prieto Mine), Cerro Prieto, Cucurpe, Mun. de Cucurpe, Sonora, Mexico [db_pics/mdpics/MD-245209b.jpg]

4 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm. A fine combination specimen of windowpane Wulfenites with Mimetite from the San Francisco Mine. This excellent specimen is no exception for this classic locality. The main 2.2 cm crystal is razor-sharp and gemmy with superb luster. The larger secondary windowpane has a bit of typical edge wear. The Mimetites are an exceptionally deep orange color. This is an excellent miniature from a world-famous locality. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.

Mimetite from Ojuela Mine, Mapimí, Mun. de Mapimí, Durango, Mexico [db_pics/mdpics/MD-245213b.jpg]

8 x 6 x 3 cm. Numerous zoned crystals up to 1 cm. The piece is very attractive, with the lustrous yellow/caramel crystals distributed very evenly over the entire specimen like a ribbon. Aesthetic, and from a major mine for the species to be sure; but beyond that this is subtly more important in that it has crystallized mimetite. Most all of the mimetites from Mexico you see are botryoidal. Ex. Leithauser Collection.

Mimetite from Tsumeb Mine (Tsumcorp Mine), Tsumeb, Otjikoto (Oshikoto) Region, Namibia [db_pics/mdpics/MD-245215b.jpg]

2.7 x 2.4 x 1.9 cm. This specimen is from the 1971 Gem Pocket. A fine specimen from one of Tsumeb’s most famous finds. The Mimetites are a beautiful gemmy yellow, showing the long prismatic habit that is so attractive. The two longest crystals are about 1.2 cm long. Ex. Wendell E. Wilson Collection.

6.0 x 5.0 x 2.5 cm. A rare and fine combination plate from the Tsumeb Mine. Glassy, mostly transparent, smoky-colored wulfenite crystals with sharp beveled edges are richly and aesthetically scattered on the matrix. Bundles of lustrous, yellowish-tan mimetite are concentrated at the top of the piece and are a beautiful compliment. The largest wulfenite, at 9 mm, is aesthetically framed by two mimetite crystal clusters.

4.3 x 3.9 x 3.1 cm. A fine mimetite from the famous late 1960s find at San Pedro Corralitos, Mexico. Matte-finish, translucent, yellow-orange botryoids richly and aesthetically cover the front and back of the sturdy, sculptural, gossan matrix. Highly representative, classic material from this find and nearly pristine. Ex. Dennis Mullane Collection.

Wulfenite, Mimetite from San Juan Poniente, Ojuela Mine, Mapimí, Mun. de Mapimí, Durango, Mexico [db_pics/mdpics/MD-246460b.jpg]

8.9 x 6.8 x 3.9 cm. A striking specimen with lustrous, pseudocubic, butterscotch-colored wulfenite crystals scattered on a very sturdy, 3-dimensional gossan matrix and beautifully complimented by botryoidal green mimetite from a new find at the Mina Ojuela at Mapimi, Mexico. The largest wulfenite crystals (2) are 8 mm and they are doubly terminated. This fine piece has very few broken crystals and there even little, white calcite rhombs as a very nice accent. This is a new find, from just before the 2008 Denver Show. The exact mine location is Level 6, San Juan Poniente vein.

5.2 x 4.8 x 3.3 cm. An unusual piece. This specimen of very heavy baryte blades, in a thick cluster, is dusted with powdery-orange little clusters of mimetite crystals. Very sharp contrast makes them leap out, and it is a very displayable piece different from the usual wulfenites you might get from this mine. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.

Mimetite, Quartz from Tsumeb Mine (Tsumcorp Mine), Tsumeb, Otjikoto (Oshikoto) Region, Namibia [db_pics/mdpics/MD-250310b.jpg]

5.6 x 3.1 x 2.1 cm. Superb, gemmy, yellow mimetite crystals to 7 mm are richly and attractively scattered on the sulfide matrix plate and are very nicely complimented by the multitude of sharp, oxide-stained quartz crystals on this uncommon and excellent combination piece from the Tsumeb Mine. The mimetites, while small, are way above average for this renowned locale. Well-crystallized quartz is relatively uncommon from Tsumeb and to have sharp crystals associated with gemmy mimetites, is indeed, exceptional and rare.

5.3 x 2.9 x 2.1 cm. Scintillating, gemmy, yellow-orange mimetite crystals to 1.0 cm cover the sculptural matrix on this fine specimen from the well-known Chinese finds of 2002-2003. These crystals have outstanding gemminess and lustre. Ex. Wes Parker Collection.

7.7 x 4.4 x 4 cm. A superb small cabinet plumbogummite specimen, for its rich color, completeness all around, and 3-dimensional form. It is a rich specimen with a velvety look to it. Very nice "fingers" representing mimetite crystals that are coated, and partially pseudomorphed, to plumbogummite.
