A choice miniature displaying lustrous, blocky to oblong, zoned orange Wulfenite crystals surrounded by crystalline, botryoidal light green Mimetite. The Wulfenite crystals measure to 1 cm and are aesthetically distributed over the display face, covering a dark, rusty coloured Limonite matrix. From the Ojuela mine at Mapimi in Mexico, the Wulfenite crystals are particularly attractive, appearing like sharply sliced caramel toffees of light mustard yellow-orange with a deeper apricot orange central zone. Very tasty indeed!
