Description

Good mimetite specimens from Cobar are difficult to come by.  This miniature is the best seen so far. The colour is a beautiful orange and the crystals are generally well formed prisms with exceptional lustre. There is very little matrix attached.

A brilliant locality specimen with no visible damage.

A flat international rate of only US$8.00 applies to this specimen. To save even more on postage, combine this piece with other Gondwana minerals in the one parcel.
