Lustrous, silky yellow-green, botryoidal mimetite in 3-dimensional, cauliflower-like clusters form an excellent and very showy specimen from the famous Mina Ojuela of Mexico. This is one of the finest Ojuela mimetites of this variety that I have seen - NOT to be confused with the more commonly seen mimetite from San Pedro Corralitos! A pristine specimen from the Brent Lockhart Collection.
