Manganoan Adamite (Stoudt Coll.)

Item Description

Blush purple terminations of manganoan adamite highlight this very aesthetic miniature from the Dave Stoudt Collection #206. The placement of the lustrous, tranlucent, colorless adamites with classic chisel terminations on the elongated goethite matrix is remarkable. Purple (manganoan) adamite is one of the three Holy Grail species from Mina Ojuela, along with legrandite and scorodite. This piece is from the one-time find in 1981 and is highly representative for this very desirable manganoan-adamite species (erroneously once though to be cobaltoan). Neon green fluorescence. Pristine.
