Mineral background
Mimetite is best approached as a collector mineral rather than a generic decorative crystal. The important details are the confirmed mineral identity, locality, crystal habit, associations on the matrix and the condition shown in close photographs.
How to compare Mimetite specimens
Look for yellow, orange, brown or greenish crystals, sometimes campylite-like. A strong specimen normally shows its main crystal habit clearly from more than one angle.
Value notes
Colour, crystal habit, classic locality and provenance strongly affect collector value.
Care and handling
Handle minimally, keep away from children, avoid dust and wash hands after handling.
