Gemmy, bright orange crystals to half a centimeter cover two sides of the matrix. These lustrous, bright mimetites represented a very important new find for the species when they came out, but they were so extraordinarily expensive in specimens of quality that many people missed out on them. I am glad to have gotten a small batch lately that were reasonably priced enough for me to be able to offer them at auction. 8.2 x 5.3 x 4.5 cm
