Adamite (Var: Manganoan Adamite), Adamite
Ojuela Mine, Mapimi, Mun. de Mapimi, Durango, Mexico
Cabinet, 14.5 x 10.9 x 5.1 cm
SOLD
A very rare cabinet piece from the 1981 finds. This is a striking, large and rich, cabinet specimen from the Mina Ojuela. This dramatic specimen is festooned with glassy, purple adamite crystals to 7 mm on a sculptural, sturdy, gossan matrix plate. There are even three green, adamite balls scattered about as a nice accent. Lustrous goethite balls richly cover the backside of this two-sided specimen. This piece is from the one-time find in 1981 and is a superb, large and important representative for this very desirable manganoan-adamite species (erroneously once thought to be cobaltoan). Ex. Consie Prince Collection.
