Description: We are so excited to share these flats of Adamite specimens with you! When you ask collectors to name their favorite Mexican locale, without fail, most will say the Ojuela Mine. The Ojuela Mine is nothing short of amazing, becoming one of Mexicos richest treasury of ore and collector-grade mineral specimens.The Ojuela Mine has a long, rich history stretching back to 1598 when the Spaniards first started mining silver-ore. The Ojuela Mine is a complex maze spanning underground for over 400 km. It was not until the end of WWII that the era of industrial mining was over, with an emphasis shifting towards mining mineral specimens. [1] Adamite, in its purest form, is colorless. But Adamite is a fascinating mineral that can occur in many different colors depending on which metal “impurities” are present in its composition. Hence the yellowish, green, blue, pinkish to purple colors you see. Some Ojuela Adamites fluoresce neon green under shortwave UV light, adding an extra dimension of allure to the specimens. These specimens feature lustrous adamite crystals carpeted nicely together on a host of limestone matrix.This is piece has a very beautiful soft yellow green color to it.The specimen is from: Ojuela Mine, Mapimi, Municipal de Mapimi, Durango, Mexico.The specimen is 9.8 by 6.4 by 3.3 cm's in size.
