A superb cabinet sized display specimen of Adamite from the famous occurrence at Ojuela mine, Mapimí, Mexico. Almost the entire display surface is a cavity in limonitic gossan within which large fan-like sprays (reaching nearly 2 cm across) of yellow-green Adamite crystals richly invest. Some of the sprays interlock, giving the appearance of cogwheels. The Adamite has a lovely 'wet' lustre adding to the attraction. A very fine specimen that would look lovely on display in any Ojuela mine, Mexican minerals, or arsenate suite.
