Item Description

One of the most classic localities for Adamite in the world is the Ojuela mine in Mexico. This material is some of the most beautiful and classic material for the species. This particular specimen features lustrous, classic, yellow-green radiating "fan"-shaped groups of Adamite on minor gossan matrix. This is a decent overall miniature size specimen and the best of this material will go down as some of the finest quality and color Adamite in history. From the collection of Rolando Gioia (a contributor to new definitive book on Brazilian minerals: "Minerais e Pedras Preciosas do Brasil").
