Item Description
A really cute and aesthetic, 360-degree, adamite thumbnail with unusual colorations. The lustrous, sharply formed, crystals are hematite-tinted and have classic chisel terminations. There is even some PURPLE (manganese?) in the translucent crystals! Significant and choice material, as even the mine level is known. This is Santa Eulalia purple adamite from early 2000s finds, and not from the older 1981 find at Mina Ojuela.
