This Mimetite has a glassy lustre, and striking yellow-orange color. The crystals grow as long as 1.2 cm, and there are about 20 different ones comprising this attractive specimen. Although very hard to spot there are two or three partial crystals out of the 20. Overall its an amazing, bright example of Mimetite from this long-closed classic location in Namibia.
