Very special specimen. Three generations of Mimetite coexist, with three different morphologies. Colorless and zoned Mimetite crystals were deposited on the matrix first, followed by another generation of Mimetite crystals with inclusions of Arsendescloizite that give it the showy greenish coloration that can be seen in a good part of the specimen, and finally the largest and best developed more classic Mimetite crystals, yellow in color, and with a crown of crisscrossing crystals at the top of the piece.
The specimen has been analyzed due to its complexity, as is often the case with specimens from Tsumeb.
