Item Description
Beautiful, juicy, sparkling, pinwheels of gemmy yellow-green adamite lathes are very aesthetically intergrown on this classic and desirable style from famed Mina Ojuela. The scattered iron oxide tinting adds color variability and pizzazz. Nearly pristine, this sculptural plate has just a touch of bruising, which certainly has only minimal impact to this exceptional old-timer. The two-toned, 9.3 cm, paper label dates the piece to the classic 1960s-70s finds. From an East Coast collection. NEON green fluorescence! Valued at $1000-1250. Pinwheels are the most sought-after adamite style from Mina Ojuela.
