Cool rock!  |

Wulfenite, Duftite & Mimetite Specimen #Mex23 Ojuela Mine Mapimi Durango, Mexico 4.3 x 3.5 x 3.5cm Miniature ex Mike Groben Collection $25 This specimen consists of a limonite matrix that is capped by a "rind" consisting of yellow wulfenite "window panes" (to 1.3cm), glassy duftite xls and dark green botryoidal mimetite xls. The cap has worked it's way loose from the limonite matrix and makes for a nice display piece on it's own. Unfortunately, many of the very delicate wulfenite xls are damaged. With this in mind, I'll make this offer to see who actually reads my dribble. Purchase any other Mexican specimen from this offering, and I'll throw this piece in for free. I won't guarantee what condition it will arrive in, but you never know. Na Zdorovye! |
