This specimen is highlighted by several vugs hosting the thin crusts of lustrous, rich green, spherical mimetite balls. Glassy and translucent, amber-colored wulfenite crystals, to .2 cm in length, are clustered as accents around some of the vugs. Aesthetic and sculptural, this is an excellent example of the new green mimetites.
