Deeply saturated manganoan adamites on matrix from Ojuela, with glittering faces and sharp edges. Light green midsections, with zoned, purple terminations. A classic from this locality, it is one of the least common varieties of adamite to come across. This is a great example in excellent condition, with no visible damage. Ex: Gene Schlepp
