Adamite from Ojuela Mine, Mapimí, Mun. de Mapimí, Durango, Mexico [db_pics/mdpics/MD-172409a.jpg]

3.7 x 3.0 x 2.9 cm. A nifty jackstraw cluster of gemmy, highly lustrous, colorless adamite crystals with the always desirable, purple tips from the famous 1981 find at Mina Ojuela, Mexico. The smaller crystals are beautifully gem-like, with their lavender, chisel-like terminations. Many of the crystals are doubly terminated. The scattered, attached gossan matrix is actually a nice compliment. Ex. Ed Swoboda Collection.

Adamite (Var: Cuprian Adamite), Adamite (Var: Cobaltoan Adamite), Willemite from Tsumeb Mine (Tsumcorp Mine), Tsumeb, Otjikoto (Oshikoto) Region, Namibia [db_pics/mdpics/MD-174138b.jpg]

3.7 x 2.1 x 1.6 cm. It seems as if a matrix of calcite is overlain by radiating, acicular groups of colorless willemite; but actually the "calcite" is cobaltoan adamite which is very rare for Tsumeb. The cobalt-rich and decidedly pink adamite grades into a second generation of light green cuprian adamite, with a rare pyramidal-looking crystal form. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.

3.4 x 2.9 x 1.3 cm. There are numerous gemmy, deep green crystals of cuprian adamite, some doubly terminated to about 1 cm in length! The crystals have inclusions of Ferrilotharmeyerite which lends them color. Sprinkling them are sub-mm sized, but bright yellow beaverite. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.

5.7 x 4.1 x 2.4 cm. With superb luster and color on the 1-cm-long Willemite blades, they lay attractively on the green-blue druse of cuprian adamites for a sharp contrast. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.

5.0 x 3.1 x 2.2 cm. Glassy and lustrous, seafoam-green cuprian adamite crystals richly and attractively line a 2.2 cm wide vug lined with sparkly, botryoidal, green olivenite in sulfide matrix from Tsumeb. Ex. Rob Smith Collection.
