Geologically, this historic deposit discovered in 1660 is famous for producing exceptional specimens of wulfenite, conichalcite, plattnerite, and smithsonite, alongside notable pyrite with calcite and quartz. The mine has yielded iconic fan-shaped white wulfenite and whitish rice-grain smithsonite that remain highly prized in modern collections. Today, it stands as a premier source for rare and visually striking mineral specimens that define the Mapimí mining district.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Castle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48871999471771,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0336\/3012\/6217\/files\/cdc8f557-598c-40fd-8a6f-07a5ae57d0cc_b1004696-1e97-427a-a271-4ab332a674ec.jpg?v=1782695299","url":"https:\/\/www.overtonfamilyjewels.com\/products\/auction-win-0ecb6884-9c27-40b2-ac42-98932df7cfc2","provider":"OFJ's Crystal Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
