A large, rich plate of brushy, sparkly, caramel-colored clusters of mimetite from Mexico. Most folks do not realize there was, in the 1960s, a third famous mimetite locality in addition to the now well-known Ojuela and San Pedro Corralitos Mines. These old pieces are now pretty rare, and a small cab in this condition is hard to obtain. Superb for mimetite from this locality.
