One of my favourite objects in the night sky is right next to Mimosa (Beta Crux), it is a little blood red carbon star. The Jewel Box is also right next door if you want to confirm your earlier observation. You don't need a lot of magnification for this one, I usually view at 96* through my 12" dob.
If you Google "Mimosa Astronomy" and select images you should get a picture as an idea of what I have suggested.
Enjoy!
