From the famous, generations-old Weyand Collection in Tsumeb comes this larger display specimen of crystallized Mimetite. Presenting a beige colour, the whole specimen consists of stepped layers of florette-like growths of bundled acicular to prismatic Mimetite crystals. There are a couple of contacted areas on the top of the sample but for sheer size and richness of Mimetite this is an important historic piece.
