A fine large cabinet mimetite with wulfenite specimen from the Mina Ojuela of Mexico. The front of the vuggy specimen is festooned with tiny, yellow-green mimetite botryoids and needles. Scattered about are wafer-thin, transparent, yellow wulfenite windowpanes to 9 mm. A secondary coating of drusy calcite covers a portion of the piece. Even the back and bottom are sprinkled with mimetite on this old-time piece, probably dating to the 1960s. Ex. Mullane Collection. Classic Ojuela material.
