Mimetite
Pingtouling Mine, Liannan, Sanjiang
Guangdong Province,
4.8 x 3.7 x 1.8 CM (miniature)
price: $390
A vivid yellow to orange cluster of lustrous Mimetite crystals that are up to 1 CM (most are smaller) from the now classic finds at Pingtouling. This mine had a brief period of producing world-class Mimetite that were noticeably different than any others before or since worldwide. The mine area collapsed and flooded over 20 years ago but today many now consider the Pingtouling Mimetites the world’s best. This is a small miniature specimen in very fine condition. The open vug helped to protect the delicate crystals and they are in very good condition as seen. In person the color is a bit more orange than the online photos can show.
