Description

Over two dozens of pale yellow blocky hexagonal mimetite crystals constitute a rich drusy on the gossan matrix.
An oldtimer from a long inactive Sardinian locale. The specific specimen is my first ever Su Zurfuru mimetite and it comes from a Greek collection. I acquired this specimen approximately 10 years ago and I was told it dates back to the early 80s.
