Manganoan Adamite (large) Dave Stoudt Coll.

Item Description

VERY RARE cabinet piece from the famous 1981 finds! This is a striking, large and rich, CABINET specimen from the famous Mina Ojuela. Purple (manganoan) adamite is one of the three Holy Grail species from Mina Ojuela, along with legrandite and scorodite. The scultpural vug in this dramatic specimen is festoooned with glassy, purple adamite crystals to 5 mm on a sturdy, gossan matrix. This piece is from the one-time find in 1981 and is super, large and important representative for this very desirable manganoan-adamite species (erroneously once thought to be cobaltoan). Ex Dave Stoudt Collection. The crystals may be small, but they are colorful and there are so many of them. I would value this at $2000 for the size, excellent quality and richness of color.
