One of my favorites of the smaller specimens, this is particularly aesthetic. A rounded knob of limonite is covered by spherical green mimetite, with a silky sheen. Perched on the mimetite are two starkly isolated, lustrous and translucent, amber-colored crystals of wulfenite, to .75 cm in length. Flakes of white calcite are scattered about on the mimetite. The contrasts of geometry and color are very appealiing on this 3-dimensional specimen that is a small cab, or a large miniature
