Colorful gemmy Mimetite from Hat Yai District, Thailand. It comes from the collection of Sandro Maggia, Italy with a label. Very pleasing specimen of crystals growing on a white base which underlines them very well. The Mimetites are sharp hexagonal crystals to 2mm with vivid and intense canary-yellow color. They have superb luster and fresh appearance. The most amazing aspect of this specimen is the quality of the Mimetite – the crystals are gemmy. For references see the 2017 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 48, # 6. In excellent condition – some small outside edge contacts. On acrylic base.
Splendid!
