A very richly colored specimen with thick mimetite covering galena-rich, surprisingly heavy, matrix. The piece is rich with hills and valleys of spherical, velvety, rich green mimetite to 5 mm across. Associated with the mimetite are equant, glassy and translucent, amber-colored wulfenite crystals, to.5 cm in length, for a sharp contrast in color and geometry. It all sparkles! This is a solid, very showy plate with excellent display appeal, perhaps better in person
