Favoured with collectors, Campylite is a form of mimetite, a toxic mineral from the lead family. The sitr has not been worked since the mid 1800s, with collectors in the 1970s known for taking risky visits to obtain a Campylite piece. There is no update on when any pieces were last found or obtained there. 

Every effort is made to photograph the crystals as accurately as possible, but please allow for slight variations in colour. We do not edit or use filters on our photos, we only photograph in natural daylight. Some materials however, photograph differently to how they look with the naked eye.
