A STRIKING and DRAMATIC Mexican mimetite specimen from the MUCH LESS well-known La Esperanza Mine of Durango. Translucent, lime-green mimetite botryoids and arborescent crystal clusters COVER the gossan matrix. The knob of mimetite is STRIKING. Glassy, flattened, colorless calcite rhombs are a beautiful accent to this OLD-TIME, RARE and AESTHETIC specimen from the Dave and Emily Stoudt Collection. Collected in 1955, according to the old label from a man named Harshbarger.
