Description

Yolk-yellow botryoidal aggregates of mimetite. This is one of the most beautiful minis I ever saw from this find,- and I lived at the time of the find of this material just 5 minutes away and provided the guys coffee during their work at the mimetite vein. So I saw most of the pieces. But such a pristine and colourful specimen I did not see very often.
