This is a specimen of spherical, silky-luster, rich green mimetite. It has a tree like appearance and splays out nicely. A few tiny translucent wulfenite crystals as well as flaky white calcite add accents to the piece. Larger, robust mimetite balls make this a super display piece for the size and price range
A slightly concave-shaped limonite matrix is covered by spherical, rich green mimetite, in balls to .2 cm across. Scattered over the mimetite are lustrous and translucent, bi-pyramidal, amber-colored crystals of wulfenite, to .5 cm in length. Beautiful plate for the price
Limonite is the matrix for this arborescent specimen with spheres of silky, rich green mimetite, to .5 cm across, upon which are emplaced a few glassy and translucent, amber-colored wulfenite crystals. The largest is 1.5 cm in length and is also doubly terminated (on back). the contrasting accent is striking and both species are of high quality here. The piece is complete on the back as well, around the top!
A thin layer of rich green mimetite, in balls to .4 cm across, covers a sawn limonite matrix. A single thick, lustrous and translucent, amber-colored crystal of wulfenite, measuring 1.0 cm in length, is perched on the edge of the specimen for contrast and accent. Fine quality of mimetite, with just a few miniscule specks of damage, hence a lower price - but it displays beautifully.
Silky, rich green mimetite, to .5 cm across ...scattered about on the mimetite are tabular to equant, glassy and translucent, amber-colored wulfenite crystals , to .7 cm in length.One wulfenite crystal is so limpid that the green mimetite under it is clearly visible! Beautiful combination specimen
Silky sheen for luster and a rich green color highlight the spheres of mimetite, to .5 cm across. A few lustrous and translucent, amber-colored, wulfenite crystals ,to 1.5 cm in length, are perched on the mimetite. The largest wulfenite crystals are also doubly terminated. Very minor damage, some small dings, and so the piece is priced down a bit compared to what it would otherwise be but still displays very beautifully.
The most beautiful, rolling hillock of mimetite in this size range, with silky-sheened, spherical, rich green mimetite, in balls to .70 cm across!
A single, tabular .75 cm crystal, of lustrous and translucent, amber-colored wulfenite, is perched on a thin crust of lustrous, rich green mimetite which itself covers a limonite matrix. Aesthetic and typical combination from this new find
A knobby matrix of limonite is almost completely covered by very robust clusters of spherical, lustrous and velvety, rich green mimetite in balls to .75 cm across. Several wulfenite crystals, to 1.0 cm in length, are perched on the mimetite (one atop has a slight damage at one edge, though this does not detract much visually). Small specks of white calcite also are present in minute quantity. The 3-D appearance of this specimen, with that mimetite stalactite popping up, is particularly appealing and unusual. It is complete on both sides. Overall a superb and dramatic small cab specimen!
On the silky green mimetite lays a cluster of superbly crystallized, slender and elongated, bi-pyramidal wulfenite crystals. to 2.2 cm in length. The wulfenite crystals are lustrous and translucent; and exhibit a butterscotch color. The longest crystal is also doubly terminated. These are outstanding examples of this rare habit, from a find that really has astonished people by how much of quality came out after decades of low wulfenite production here. And whe nit did come out, to have this unusual habit...it was worth the wait. Such large crystals of this habit are uncommon from any locality for wulfenite.
A crust of lustrous, rich green mimetite is emplaced on an ocherous limonite matrix. Elongated, lustrous and translucent, amber-colored wulfenite crystals, to 1.75 cm in length, are perched on the mimetite. Flakes of white calcite are also present (mostly on the sides). Overall, a super-aesthetic, well-balanced specimen!
An aesthetic, volcano-shaped knob of limonite matrix smothered in rich green mimetite, in spheres to .5 cm across. Widely scattered on the mimetite are a few elongated, lustrous and translucent, amber-colored wulfenite crystals to, 1.0 cm in length. Overall a very 3-dimensional and impactful specimen!
Like houses perched on a hillside, SHARP crystals of lustrous and translucent, amber-colored wulfenite to 1.0 cm sit upon cascading, sculptural mounds of velvety green mimetite, in spherical aggregates to .5 cm across. White flakes of calcite are also present. All this on an interestingly-shaped limonite matrix. At least 2 of the wulfenite crystals are also doubly terminated. Overall a striking combination specimen!
BEAUTIFUL LARGE SPECIMEN! This mountain-shaped mimetite specimen hosts a single, lustrous and translucent, amber-colored wulfinite crystal 1.1 cm in length. The spherical mimetite, which reaches .75 cm across, is lustrous and velvety with a rich green color. All of this is on a knobby, 3-dimensional limonite matrix. Impactful size and aesthetics!
A beautiful small cab featuring superb, rich green mimetite draping an ocherous limonite matrix. Super example of green mimetite from the find, with particularly intense color - and if you want a mimetite, its cheaper to get one without wulfenite attached, too.
