JE03 Mimetite
Nakhlak Mine, Anarak District, Esfahan Prov., Iran
7.2x 6.8x 2.8 cm

A rare cabinet specimen of orange Persian mimetite, from an old US collection.  This one has numerous orange botryoids on matrix, with what appear to be quite a few casts after wulfenite blades.

 

Although this locality does produce brighter orange specimens, this is far deeper color than anything from Mexico-- including the old San Pedro Corralitos pieces.
