Miniature (5.8 x 4.9 x 3.5 cm)
This is a very nice miniature from the recent finds on Level 6 of the Ojuela Mine. The specimen consists of a very colorful and aesthetic combination of butterscotch prismatic wulfenite crystals up to 0.5 cm, on a matrix of olive-green spherical mimetite crystals. Some of the wulfenites have pinacoidal terminations, but a number exhibit pyramidal terminations. An excellent summary of this deposit is found in the special Mexico II issue of Mineralogical Record, Vol. 34, No. 5, September – October, 2003.
