Mimetite (classic wet botryoidal)
stock #12.1-309
San Pedro Corralitos, Municipio de Casas Grandes
Chihuahua,
Mexico
3.8 x 2.1 CM (small miniature/ large thumbnail (toenail))
price: $360
From the most desirable early find (1968-69) at San Pedro Corralitos, this is a very lustrous "wet" looking yellow Mimetite. A little larger than a thumbnail, this specimen has a lot of eye appeal despite its size. No damage, great color and form, the quality of these first specimens was never seen since then- despite more than 40 years of looking!
Mimetite (Botryoidal Yellow)
stock #6.2-936
San Pedro Corralitos, Municipio de Casas Grandes
Chihuahua,
Mexico
6.7 x 5.7 CM (cabinet)
price: $650
From the earliest finds of several years ago this is a classic San Pedro Corralitos Mimetite. More recent finds never reached the quality of the original discovery. The very best classics have a wet-look luster, super bright color and very high price tags when available. They are world class.. This piece is pretty good ( far better than recent specimens) but does not reach the top color or luster that would add a zero to the price. The form on this is excellent and displays well but luster and color are not quite the level of the best pieces.
