Mimetite

During the 2003 Tucson Show the main novelty was, without doubt, the new Chinese Mimetites.
As you can see their quality is exceptional. We selected the more colorful orange ones, leaving from those we saw the more yellowish ones as they are too similar in our opinion of the former Thailand ones. Also we tried to get the more perfect specimens with the nicer and sharper forms.

KR76L9: An excellent Mimetite specimen showing well marked hoppered growth. Some of the crystals are doubly terminated and with an interesting and intense yellow color zoning, deepest in the central zone. The good brilliance and intense color contrast with the light and dark colors of the matrix. Really, really esthetic!
The specimen is from the James Catmur collection and we’ll send the label with it.

Kermesite

This find represents the best samples ever found of this species. The size, perfect form as well as the cherry red color (when back lit) make them, in our opinion, one of the most significant finds of the last few years. We have selected solid specimens from our stock, so that shipping will not be a problem.

Please note that all this photos was taken with a strong light source at the rear of the specimen, in order to show its deep red color, under normal lighting this is not so visible.

BB30L5: Fan-shaped group of flattened crystals of Kermesite that has a considerable length. With very intense reddish reflections. On some Kermesite crystals we can see small white Gypsum crystals, creamy tone Valentinite rosettes and small gray and metallic luster Stibnite crystals. Actually it is very difficult to obtain these quality Kermesite specimens.
