Adamite (Cuprian)
Mina Ojuela, Mapimi
Durango, Mexico
4.5 x 3.4 x 2.6 CM (miniature)
price: $260


Rich color and bright luster, a fine druse of sharp Adamite crystals on a Gossan matrix. A few small Calcites and some areas of Conichalcite are also present. The Cuprian Adamite from here are now considered the world's best by far and can be very esthetic. For years Cuprian Adamite was also known from Tsumeb and was also very attractive but recent studies have shown those should in fact are Zinco-Olivenite. This miniature has two well-crystallized areas that are on opposite sides of the matrix. This specimen is in excellent condition the blue green color is especially bright and this has a good display impact despite the small size.
