Mimetite with Cerussite
Unknown Owner
From the famous Gem Pocket discovery, this splayed cluster of GEMMY mimetites came out of this ONE-TIME find in 1971. A rich, attractive thumbnail, it features brilliant and clear, yellow, hexagonal mimetite crystals up to 1.3 cm. The quality and aesthetics of this small beauty are really outstanding, and you can see why specimens of this Holy Grail of Tsumeb species have been considered the finest mimetites in the world. This looks, literally, like a fake photo - but it is just that good. A total gem, pristine, top quality Tsumeb thumbnail that is an important addition to any core Tsumeb suite.
