Mimetites of this form are rare from this locality, but sometimes found time to time. And in this pocket, they took on the usual form except for one striking exception: they are green rather than the typical yellow. If you look closely, you can find some tiny orange window-pane wulfenites, a common association (both lead minerals - wulfenite is lead molybdate and mimetite is lead chloroarsenate) .
