Mimetite - old find, unusual color (Ref: 5.1-159)

Pingtouling Mine, Liannan, Sanjiang, Guangdong Province, Chile

48mm x 28mm x 17mm

From the early finds at Pingtouling which were famous for bright yellow Mimetites, this is a deeper orange hue. The mine was flooded and collapsed more than 20 years ago, but the size and quality of these lustrous crystals helped them to become modern classics. This thumb-like matrix is covered by fine crystals on all sides, and the condition is excellent. The crystals all have a wet-look luster. These have become scarce and this color is even more uncommon.
