A bubbly crust of spherical, lustrous mimetite, to .6 cm across, is particularly sparkling on this specimen for some reason. It is a beautiful, large plate with top color! The mimetite occurs as a crust and is emplaced on a limonite matrix with a sawn base. A few, sparkling, tiny wulfenites and one larger crystal measuring 1.0 cm in length, are perched on the mimetite and provide a nice accent in the corner (though the wulfenite has slight edge wear and is not value-added on this specimen at the price, per se). Small white flecks are very trivial little dings, shown in the photo more than in person. Overall, it really is one of the more beautiful large pieces, and stands out in quality for color and luster, and just leaps out at you from a case.
