MK2 Mimetite

Pingtouling Mine, Bapu, Guangdong Province, China
2.2x 2.1x 1.2 cm

$200

An exceptionally large mimetite crystal from the major find of 2002 .  Since the initial find, these mimetites  have all but disappeared form the market, and the larger crystals, which were only found over a very short interval, are especially desirable.  This locality was featured in the January-February issue of the Mineralogical Record.

The crystal displays a skeletal growth pattern on the reverse.
