This unusual, bubbly, multigenerational mimetite specimen was purchased in Windhoek from a collector named Johannes Bruner, in 1997. Not the most crystallized mimetite in the world, but a decidedly unusual specimen of elegant beauty nonetheless, with the second generation of mimetite bubbling up and over the earlier crystals. 7.5 x 5 x 3 cm
