A fine Mina Ojuela adamite specimen featuring the classic "pinwheel" crystal habit. The radial, elongated, gemmy and lustrous, beautiful, apple-green adamite prisms are revealed in the large broken pinwheel. The two unbroken pinwheels above highlight the glassiness, gemminess, gorgeous color and chisel terminations. The other side gives a nice perspective to the pinwheels with the accenting gossan matrix. Ex. Mullane Collection.
