MIMETITE ON PHILIPSBORNITE — CONGO COLOR EXPLOSION!
OtherMIMETITE ON PHILIPSBORNITE — CONGO COLOR EXPLOSION!
This little piece absolutely POPS.
Brilliant golden-yellow Mimetite crystals completely light up the contrasting Philipsbornite-rich matrix — loaded with sharp, lustrous crystals and killer coverage from edge to edge.
From Yanga-Koubenza Quarry, M’fouati, Bouenza Department, Republic of the Congo — a seriously cool locality producing some wild mineral combinations.
The contrast is what does it for me: that electric yellow Mimetite against the darker matrix with hints of blue-green is just ridiculous.

Another example of why I’m always on the hunt — Earth’s art in miniature.
