Description
Waxy luster, translucent, pastel-green adamite spindles richly and aesthetically cover the sturdy, contrasting, gossan matrix plate on this fine specimen from the Mina Ojuela of Mexico. The spindle form of these adamite crystals is very uncommon for Ojuela, as most adamites have chisel terminations. Classic, uncommon material from the Consie Prince Collection.
