Description: Mimetite, Pyromorphite Locality: Caldbeck Fells, North and Western Region (Cumberland), Cumbria, England, UK (Locality at mindat.org) Size: small cabinet, 7.9 x 6.8 x 3.5 cm Mimetite var. Campylite My god, the COLOR on these mimetite crystals is crazy good...just a fiery red, the best I have seen of this material for color. They are smallish at 6-7mm, but the "Three Amigos" make quite an impact visually as they sit on this contrasting matrix, Superb specimen for quality, and a neat label as well.
