SOLD
Lovely specimen consisting of numerous .6 cm crystals of Mimetite arranged in radial sprays. All the crystals have a very nice yellow color and absolutely superb luster. Naturally, the centers of sprays are contacted by their very nature. This is very aesthetic, and has to be seen to be really appreciated! It is possibly a pseudomorph after a rotund cerussite twin, as this habit of mimetite is associated with that well-known replacement at Tsumeb. Purchased from the Zweibels in 1976
