ADAMITEOjuela MineMapimiDurango, MexicoEx. Kerith Graeber CollectionEx. Kent C. Brannock Collection - U.S. National Museum1.7 x .80 x .39 Inches 4.5 x 2 x 1 CentimetersMiniatureI discovered this specimen in Kerith Graebers room at the Tucson Fine Mineral Gallery and was instantly captivated by its perfection. You can display it in a variety of positions but I like the 3 pinwheels stacked as pictured. Ojuela Mine is known for producing very high quality adamite and this specimen is no exception. This specimen wa slikely mined over 30 years ago, there is several hand painted labels on the back. Under UV light it glows neon green - See video. It has been in my personal collection for several years but now it is time for it to find a new home and I hope it's yours!
