Large, showy specimen of rich golden-colored Mimetite crystals scattered across the flat front display face. The crystals have excellent color, good luster, areas of transparency, and reach 1.5cm in size! There are a few missing crystals but overall very minimal for a specimen this size with so many crystals. From MINDAT: 'Abandoned open pit lead-tin mine from which mimetite specimens were mined between 1996 and 1998 by Marco Sacchi and Danilo Bernasconi. These specimens debuted at the 1998 Bologna show in Italy, and were first said to be from the Hat Yai District, Songkhla Province, Thailand to protect the confidentiality of the discovery.' Ex.
