Description

Elegant miniature consisting of over half a dozen canary yellow-green adamite 'snails' from this very classic Mexican locality. Excellent lustre and very saturated color for the vast majority of the exposed crystal faces. Where the color looks brownish, it is because they were grown in the limonite and then exposed (not mechanically).

A very fresh, representative specimen. From the Lehmann collection (CH).
