A scupltural and showy, two-sided specimen from the famous Mina Ojuela of Mexico. Sparkly, transparent, two-toned, yellow-green to gray-green adamite crystals coat the matrix of botryoidal, gray-brown smithsonite, which is revealed on the other side. Minor bruising is certainly not detracting. 5.2 x 3.4 x 2.1 cm
