Purple adamite is one of the three Holy Grail species from Mina Ojuela, along with legrandite and scorodite. This showy and cute toenail features a glassy purple adamite termination face atop two intergrown, very glassy, colorless to brown, spear point adamite crystals. This piece is from the one-time find in 1981 and is highly representative of this very desirable species. Ex. George Elling Collection.
