A very unusual and pretty Mapimi mimetite. The mimetite formed on the surface inside a shallow vug - you can see the light-olive botryoidal mimetite there - and then, and this small promontory, there is this flower-like bloom of bright yellow mimetite! What an aesthetic old piece! 5.2 x 4.4 x 3.3 cm
