Groups of very sharp manganese-bearing Adamite crystals on a Goethite matrix. The crystals, translucent, lustrous, and larger than usual, have a pale lilac color in the prism and much more intense on the terminations, a color that has made this variety famous in Mapimí.
Currently considered a Mexican classic, it comes from the Peter Rosewarne collection (number Rc927), whose label we will send to the buyer.
