Description:
Small, pale yellow crystals of mimetite up to about 5 mm long, sit on
a matrix of galena with bits of (?)pyrite. The mimetite crystals
cover roughly two thirds of the specimen's surface.
Two
cavities lined with crystals have very little damage, but,
understandably, the other exposed areas with mimetite crystals, have
quite a bit of damage.
