MIMETITE ON DUFTITE – MT BONNY AUSTRALIA – SOLD
For sale is a mimetite on duftite from Australia. Featuring bright yellow mimetite crystals sitting proud of the green duftite “carpet”. This comes from the personal collection of the late Norman and Joscine Robinson, (the developer of the mine). It comes with a rare example of one of their handwritten labels. Interestingly the duftite has a very unusual boxwork like form, covering the underlying matrix. I most say I cant quite figure out whats going on there, I have never seen this form for duftites, in the many specimens I have handled from this famous collection.
