Transparent yellow Mimetite crystals on matrix from the famous 1971 gem pocket find at Tsumeb which produced what are considered the best of species Mimetite specimens. This specimen features 8 exceptionally glassy and transparent Mimetite crystals to 1.1cm in size. 7 of the 8 crystals are terminated with one crystal grown into the side of another. There are a couple areas of damage on the specimen, but affecting only 1 of the 8 crystals. Hard to find Tsumeb classic.
