Item Description
A classic Adamite from the collection of Allen Heyl (for whom the species Aheylite was named after) 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 a greenish-yellow "bow tie"-shaped aggregate on very minor Limonite matrix. This is a great thumbnail size specimen with the rarely seen "bow tie"-shaped crystal habit. This material is no longer being mined and will go down as some of the finest quality and color Adamite in history.
