Manganoan Adamite (excellent) Dave Stoudt Coll.

Item Description

Purple (manganoan) adamite is one of the three Holy Grail species from Mina Ojuela, along with legrandite and scorodite. This aesthetic and beautiful thumbnail is crowned by a sharp, glassy crystal with a textbook chisel termination. The pretty, blush purple terminations are above the -pastel-yellow lowere section of the crystals. This outstanding thumb is from the one-time find in 1981 and is a competition quality example for this very desirable manganoan-adamite species (erroneously once though to be cobaltoan). Ex Dave Stoudt Collection. I would value this around $300-400 for the outstanding quality.
