Mimetites of this quality are simply hard to find. The superb luster, good color, sharp edges, and good clarity make all the crystals in the cluster very attractive. And with the largest being at least 1 cm, and doubly- terminated, it would be hard to argue that this cluster is anything but exceptional. The style is also unusual in and of itself
