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!
