JFD167AO9: An absolute rarity. From the well-known Dolores Mine in the Los Pedroches Valley, this nice exception piece. The type of minerals found in that mine, with a preponderance of native Bismuth, are not famous for their beauty, but this cobalt-bearing Adamite stands out for its intense color and its good crystallization. Small crystals, yes, but very showy. As a curiosity, the engineer J.A. Carbonell Molina, who found it around 1963, classified it as 'Roselite'. Recent analyses prove that it is actually Adamite.
