Manganoan Adamite (Consie Prince Coll.)

Item Description

Purple (manganoan) adamite is one of the three Holy Grail species from Mina Ojuela, along with legrandite and scorodite. This AESTHETIC and VERY SHOWY specimen features isolated, glassy, sprays and clusters of purple adamite crystals beautifully scattered on the sturdy, very 3-dimensional, gossan matrix, which has a very sculptural front "porch". Waxy, olive-green adamite sprays and botryoids are a nice contrast and compliment to this outstanding piece. This piece is from the one-time find in 1981 and is SUPER representative for this very desirable manganoan-adamite species (erroneously once though to be cobaltoan). Ex Consie Prince Stoudt Collection. I would value this around $1200 for the outstanding quality.
