Radiating sprays of lustrous, partially gemmy, honey-brown mimetite crystals richly and very aesthetically cover the gossan matrix on this outstanding, older piece from the mines at Santa Eulalia. The prisms reach 1.0 cm and some are doubly terminated. Most Santa Eulalia mimetite is botryoidal, making this piece even more noteworthy. Ex. Consie Prince Collection.
