Mimetite

Unknown Owner
Lustrous balls of botryoidal orange-yellow mimetite from a classic locality for the species. In great condition, and very aesthetic. I note a single millimeter ding that is hardly noticeable and does not detract at all. The only damage to note would be along the outer edge of the piece where there are three dings all on the backside and not visible from the display face.
