A showy and excellent specimen of glassy, sea-green, cuprian adamite crystal clusters jauntily perched atop well-shaped gossan matrix from the very less well-known locality of China. This fine piece has a STRIKING similarity to classic material from Mina Ojuela, Mexico. This is a very aesthetic piece, rich, and good in color.
