A classic and fine specimen from Santa Eulalia, Mexico and the Consie Prince Collection. The sturdy piece looks like a "forest" of lustrous, honey brown-colored mimetite crystals having a very interesting, tree-like look with the calcite crystals hidden amongst them. These are often mistakenly thought to come from the Ojuela or Corralitos locales.
