TK16 - Manganoan Adamite - SOLD
Ojuela Mine, Mapimi, Mun. de Mapimi, Durango, Mexico
Size: 4.9 x 3.4 x 2.8 cm
 
This is a superb miniature featuring a wonderful adamite flower in the center of a brown gossan matrix. The colour is stong and intense, and the overall impact is just marvellous! There is no damage on the front side, just a few small spots of contact in the rear. The bottom side is sawn, however, this is not noticeable from the main display angle, and it can be improved in the lab, if desired. Indeed, this is one of the very best miniatures of this rare species i have ever seen. The crystals are so sharp and lustrous, and the composition is very well balanced. What an amazing piece!
