Item Description
A striking, two-sided, CABINET, specimen with a very nifty vug on one side. Each side of the elongated, sturdy gossan matrix is richly covered with glassy and lustrous adamite crystals of two generations. One side has larger, yellow-green, crystals with chisel terminations and includes one isolated, elongated crystal, that is 1.0 cm. The other side is festooned with smaller, honey-brown adamite crystals. The slit of vug on one side hosts the larger, yellow-green crystals. A bit of bruising is noted on each side of the vug, but in the overall context of this rich and showy specimen, with a solid display core in fine shape, is only a very modest detraction. Ex Consie Prince Collection. Classic and excellent Ojuela adamite in a larger size, valued $400
