A most unusual mimetite specimen!!! Limonite acts as the matrix for discrete rosettes comprised of spheres of lustrous, translucent, light- green mimetite. The largest rosette is 1.0 cm across. The proper display side does have a small cleaved sphere in the upper right hand corner, but the overall effect of this specimen is not compromised and it is in good shape all around, otherwise. This is one of the best examples of this very rare occurrence, found just once despite 40 years of mining for specimens here.
