Mimetite on Philipsbornite
stock #8.AE-991
Hat Yai District
Songkhlei Province,
Thailand
4.3 x 3 CM (miniature)
price: $350
A very fine example of the better quality Mimetite that had come from this area of Southern Thailand. There has been no more of this for several years and the area is considered unworkable now due to political problems. This is a lustrous sparkling miniature of glassy yellow crystals. This location is one of a very few great localities for crystallized Mimetite worldwide. Like most others (Tsumeb, Pingtouling etc.) Hat Yai no longer produces anything. Good specimens are fast becoming classics, and this is one.
