A classic and excellent cabinet adamite specimen from the Mina Ojuela. The sculptural and sturdy gossan matrix is festooned with superb pinwheels of gemmy, highly lustrous, prismatic, yellow-green adamite crystals. The largest pinwheel is 1.5 cm across. Very highly representative of this historic locale. Ex. Robert Fender Collection and dates to the 1960s and 1970s. Outstanding greenish-yellow fluorescence.
