{"product_id":"mimetite-57","title":"MIMETITE","description":"Tsumeb mine, that bastion of world-class minerals has, over its one hundred years of production, produced the most amazing Mimetite crystals, a species which every Tsumeb collector will own, but likely not of this world-class standard.  A cluster of highly reflective and glassy hexagonal Mimetite crystals sit on a tiny micro-conglomerate matrix of Dolomite-cemented brecciated rock fragments, with a crystalised area of approximately 5 x 3 cm.  The individual crystals are each 1 cm square in cross section with the longest measuring 2.5 cm and the remaining larger crystals all to 2 cm.  All prisms have a straw to lemon-yellow outer surface layer which envelops a deep lemon grading to rich apricot-orange core.  Towards their terminations the crystals become pure delicate-lemon and terminate in six-sided faces capped with a small pinacoid.  All crystals are translucent and some contain apricot-coloured granular inclusions.  This is a Mimetite of extremely large crystal size and superb habit from the world-famous mine at Tsumeb, Namibia.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46545288986799,"sku":"CC20824","price":20000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC20824.png?v=1770378263","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/mimetite-57","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
