One of the most classic localities for Adamite in the world is the Ojuela mine in Mexico. This material is some of the most beautiful and classic material for the species. This particular specimen features several fantastic, bright, lustrous, yellow-green crystallized "pinwheel"-shaped aggregates plus plenty more individual wedge shaped crystals of Adamite on Limonite matrix. This is a great miniature size specimen, and very aesthetic I think. This material is no longer being mined and will go down as some of the finest quality and color Adamite in history.
