Item Description
Gemmy and lustrous, pretty sea-green, cuprian adamite crystals are richly set in parallel, ribbed clusters amongst sparkly, translucent, apple-green, conichalcite botryoids on this showy sculptural plate from the famous Mina Ojuela. A bit of contacting is noted, but is a modest detraction. Excellent and rich combination material from this historic mine. Combination specimens of this richness and quality are seldom available. Older material from the Consie Prince Collection.
