A very small adamite specimen, yes, but this is NOT from Mexico - it is a rare one from the Daye Mine in China! And yet, it has a structure, color and even limonitic matrix that are extremely similar to the Mina Ojuela ones. At any rate - a very uncommon specimen for a collector of unusual thumbnails!
