Item Description
A STRIKING, DRAMATIC, two-sided, CABINET adamite plate from the Consie Prince Collection and the famous Mina Ojuela of Mexico. The "A" side of the sturdy gossan matrix is FESTOONED with gemmy and lustrous, yellow-green adamite crystals. The "B" side features gemmier adamite crystals in larger, isolated, rounded clusters. A "A" side is in excellent condition, with only an inconsequential bit of periphery bruising. The "B" side has some contacting, but is still striking. This is CLASSIC, large material from Mina Ojuela and displays well from several sides, as you can see. Valued at $1000-1200 for size, richness and quality.
