Mimetite
Cleveland Mine, Springdale Mining District, Stevens County, Washington, USA
3.4 x 2.0 x 1.4 cm. Mimetite is rare from this obscure former Pb-Zn-Sb-Ag mine, active from 1903 to 1948. Sprays of lustrous, translucent, orange mimetite crystals, to 4 mm, are nicely scattered on the vuggy sulfide matrix. Choice and rare older material from the Alfred Stevenson and Eugene Carmichael Collections.
