Description

A beautiful botroidal adamite from Ojuela, Mexico. Excellent aggregate with great apple green color and amazing lustre. The centre of the aggregate displays a second generation of adamite, which this time comes as yellow wrinkles, donating an excellent shape and color contrast to the specimen.

Specimen dated back to the 70s, it comes from a Swiss collection we have recently acquired.
