Ojuela mine has undoubtedly produced the world's finest crystals of Adamite, most of which were mined during the late 20th century. This excellent cabinet-sized specimen comprises a classic rusty gossan matrix upon which a thick bed of intergrown bipyramidal crystals has grown. The crystals are very well-formed, extremely glossy, and range in colour from creamy-pale green to pale orange. Individually they reach up to 5 mm across. This is a really well-crystallized Adamite specimen from this world-class occurrence.
