Description

According to The Mineralogical Record article of the Ojuela Mine (vol.34, number 5, p.79) "paradamite remains an extremely mineral in the Ojuela mine". This specimen is exceptional for the quality of the crystals, as it can be seen in the photos.
Finally, paradamite has only been found in two more localities worldwide, the famous Tsumeb and Laurion deposits. Don't miss the opportunity to get a rarity like this in good crystals.
