Lustrous orange mimetites have grown all around this dome-shaped matrix, with little calcite rhombs intergrown amongst them. An aesthetic example of a Santa Eulalia classic! However, I had NEVER seen such elongated, fine, Tsumeb-quality mimetites from Santa Eulalia. This one is just a whol enother level...and it SURELY is this locale, as the white rhomb calcites indicate. 4.3 x 3.2 x 3.0 cm
