This aesthetic specimen features a gorgeous floret of glassy, gemmy, purple manganoan adamite crystals with sharp chisel terminations very attractively set on sculptural gossan matrix. This piece is from the one-time find in 1981 and is highly representative for this very desirable manganoan-adamite species (erroneously once though to be cobaltoan). For this size of specimen, this is an outstanding piece with large crystals. Ex. Jaime Bird Collection.
