Comment: Lustrous, "wet-look", lime-green to yellow-green adamite crystals in botryoidal clusters are festooned on 3-dimensional gossan on this impressive CABINET speicmen from the famed Mina Ojuela of Mexico. The periphery contacting is certainly not a major detriment to this excellent, very rich and large specimen. Ex George Elling Collection.
