The display of this specimen is dominated by silky and glistening, light yellow-brown mimetite. (The actual color is somewhat darker than my lousy photos appear on my computer.) Immediately underneath is a thicker layer of dull, grayish crystalline mimetite which in turn sits on a limonite matrix. Also on the display face are colorless, translucent to transparent calcite rhombs; these reach 1.2 cm. In some spots the calcites are water-clear and the mimetite underneath is clearly visible. Minor chips to a few of the calcites and the usual edge and back issues, but overall condition is quite nice. Easily sits at a pleasant display angle without needing a stand.
