Mimetite
Science & Origin of Mimetite
Mimetite, also known as Mimetesite and Prixite, is a rare lead arsenate chloride mineral that crystallizes in the form of botryoidal, tiny tabular crystals, and small curved acicular crystals. This mineral is a member of the Apatite family and forms from heavy oxidation of lead deposits. Other lead minerals such as Wulfenite, Vanadinite, and Galena can occur near or in association with Mimetite. This crystal was first reported by F.S. Beaudant in 1832 and was named after the Greek word “mimetes” meaning “ imitator”. This name was chosen because of its similar resemblance to Pyromorphite, and them naturally forming near one another. Very fine specimens of Mimetite have come out of Mexico and Namibia, although it can also be found in Australia, Greece, and the USA.
