Adamite (Cuprian), Mapimi, Durango, Mexico

The pleasing green of this Mexican adamite hints at its high copper ("cuprian") content. The crystals are nice, sharp and about 1-2mm each, resting on limonitic crusty matrix. Of course the adamite has strong fluorescence under UV light. This is a very attractive miniature! Ex Garry Kolodinsky colleciton. From Mapimi, Durango, Mexico. Dimensions: 3.5 cm x 5.5 cm
