The color of this copper-bearing adamite from Ojuela is wonderful! The red matrix creates an interesting contrast with the ocean blue adamite and this reminds me of waves crashing against rocks at the shoreline. Most people are aware and have seen the yellow pinwheel adamites from Ojuela but are not familiar with these copper-bearing ones. Very cool thumbnail for any collection!
