MIMETITE

Mimetite from San Pedro Corralitos will always hold a place as some of the most recognizable and ultra desirable locality pieces around. This one is artistically formed and, as shown in the photos, displayable from multiple positions and angles, each with its own point of emphasis. On the front are larger botryoids of a deeper orange color, partially covered by smaller ones and accented with crystals of glistening calcite. What is shown here as the backside has a denser coverage of flashy yellow mimetite, showing more of that classic, splendid rolling luster. Save for some barely noticeable contacting along one edge, the specimen is in marvelous condition (also worth noting that some stabilization was done on the side). Gorgeously showy and exceptionally unique specimen from the legendary one-time 1969 find.
