Description
Here we have a fine specimen of barrel shaped doubly coloured Mimetite from the old time Dry Gill Mine of Cumbria. This is a superb example of this classic Mimetite varietal, once known by the local name Campylite in the mid-1800s. This material, which typically has an orangey to brick red colour, is one of the most classic lead species found in the north of England. This particular piece is notable for its high luster, its rich burnt orange and lime green colour which is more vibrant than usual, and a small association with Baryte for accent. A very aesthetical specimen with only minor imperfection. Valued in our stock with € 1000,00 and way more 3-dimensional and better in kind
