Mimetite Holt Mine, Williamson Co., Tennessee 6.57cm x 6.5cm x 4.8cm Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum, Michigan Technological University

Description/Interesting Notes: A very rare, old time example of mimetite from Tennessee!!! This old time rarity consists of a complex chert/quartz matrix that hosts a rich showing of sharp, lustrous crystals of mimetite!!! The light, pale yellow mimetite crystals consist of stout, hexagonal crystals that range in size up to 5mm!!! This would be a fantastic mimetite for any locality - but this is a truly amazing specimen for TENNESSEE!!! The most prominent mimetite crystals - the are hosting the largest and showiest - are undamaged and complete!!! This specimen is actually in fantastic condition considering its age and obscurity!!! In addition to the mimetite crystals, there are a number of small, colorless fluorite crystals scattered about as well!!! There are also tiny crystals of brownish to greenish colored pyromorphite in association as well - present as both tiny prismatic brownish crystals and greenish crust-like coatings!!! What appear to be tiny red crystals microcrystals are actually heavily-included tiny red quartz crystals!!! This is a KILLER old time specimen - truly one of those "once-in-a-lifetime" specimen!!!
