Item Description

Certainly one of the most unusual forms on rich green cuprian adamite from Mina Ojuela, that we have seen. The multi-hued, variably sparkly, forest-green, microcrystalline adamite forms striking bubbly, botryoidal, nubby and even weird-looking partition-like features on both sides of this two-sided rib of purple manganese oxides. Older material. A must for the species or locality collector.
