A superb, crystallized botryoidal crust of bright yellow Mimetite. Mimetite is a lead arsenate chloride mineral which forms as a secondary mineral in lead deposits, usually by the oxidation of galena and arsenopyrite. Industrially, mimetite is a minor ore of lead. The chief use of mimetite is as a collector's specimen. This beautiful specimen was part of a small crystal pocket discovery in the Ojuela Mine at Mapimi around 2007. It is an excellent, damage free specimen of mimetite, which is extremely popular with mineral collectors due to its bright yellow color and relative rarity. Dimensions (cm): 2.8 H x 11 W x 7.8 D.
