Description

This is a super old time specimen of excellent defined yolk yellow Mimetite on matrix.  The Mimetite is sharp edged, lucent and lustrous. It is multifaced as well and almost undamged. Because of a fissure under the crystal I have put the specimen for some days in aceton to check if it is repaired,- but the piece was stabile. This kind of Mimetite are the most desirable and sought after Mimetites at all and exeeding hard to come by nowadays. Actually I should set a reserve price......
