Tabular hexagonal prisms of Mimetite on matrix from the Mount Bonnie Mine. The crystals are a translucent yellow but are coated with green Duftite giving an overall yellow/green coloration. When you hear 'Duftite', one typically thinks of Tsumeb, however the Duftite from Mt. Bonnie is equally superb, if not better. This locality is closed and these are hard to find now, especially the less common ones with so much Duftite.
