A beautiful and classic old-time specimen of mimetite var. campylite from Dry Gill Mine, Cumbria, England, UK. Campylite is a variety of mimetite forming barrel-shaped crystals. It displays one 6mm, lustrous, rich orange crystal. It is very well shaped with a fresh appearance. It is perfectly twinned. The crystal forms an excellent focal point at the top of the base. For references see the 2023 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 54, # 5. In superb condition. On acrylic base.

Fascinating!
