ONE OF THE HOLY GRAILS FOR COLLECTORS OF MEXICO MINERALS IS THE ADAMITE WITH YELLOW BASES SOMETIMES GRADING TO DEEP GRAPE JELLY PURPLE ON THE TIPS. THIS SPECIMEN BOASTS SEVERAL SPRAYS OF ADAMITE WITH THE RICHEST PURPLE COLOR WE HAVE SEEN, ON THE USUAL HARD GOSSAN LIMONITE MATRIX WITH SOME BUBBLY SILVER GOETHITE TOO.
