Sparkly, glassy clusters of lustrous, pastel-green adamite prisms richly fill a bowl-like vug in sculptural, sturdy gossan matrix on this fine, old-time specimen from the Mina Ojuela. Additional adamite crystal clusters are scattered on the sides, adding character. Classic, older material from the 1960s or early 1970s from the Mullane Collection.
