This find of mimetite produced some of the finest examples of the species recovered since Tsumeb. It occurred at about the same time as the pyromorphite find, though unlike the pyromorphite, the supply of mimetite dried up almost as quickly as it began. This specimen hosts a large pinacoid crystal on matrix, along with a number of smaller crystals. With a bit of trimming this could be made into a $1000-$1500 specimen, but I will leave it as is.
