Silky sheen for luster and a rich green color highlight the spheres of mimetite, to .5 cm across. A few lustrous and translucent, amber-colored, wulfenite crystals, to 1.5 cm in length, are perched on the mimetite. The largest wulfenite crystals are also doubly terminated. Very minor damage, some small dings, and so the piece is priced down a bit compared to what it would otherwise be but still displays very beautifully.
