Dry Hill mine, Caldbeck, England, United Kingdom |
| Description |
A neat little thumbnail of this uncommon variety of Mimetite which forms in round, barrel like crystals, from a very famous lead bearing mine in central England. Very little material has been recovered from this mine in recent years, and larger specimens of Campylite are highly sought after and exceedingly expensive! |
