Two balls of acidic-lemon-yellow Mimetite are perched on top of a sooty matt black gossan matrix from the Tsumeb mine. The larger of the two ball-like Mimetite structures measures around 1.3 cm in diameter, but is a flattened sphere at 0.7 cm deep. A tiny clear pale yellow Wulfenite crystal, about 2 mm in length, nestles on the back of the matrix. A lovely Tsumeb Mimetite miniature.
