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 several lustrous, well-crystallized, golden-yellow partial "bow tie"-shaped aggregates measuring up to 1.2 cm of Adamite on Limonite matrix. This is a great small miniature size specimen with these rarely seen "bow tie"-shaped crystal groups. This material is no longer being mined and will go down as some of the finest quality and color Adamite in history. This piece was valued at $450 in my inventory.
