Description/Interesting Notes:

A magnificent, classic example of manganoan adamite from Ojuela!!! This specimen hosts numerous intensely colored purple crystals of manganoan adamite on a characteristic gossan matrix!!! The crystals exhibit absolutely CHOICE, intense magenta purple color with sharp faces, marked clarity and brilliantly glassy luster!!! The intense color, combined with fiery play of light within, and brilliant glassy luster make for a very striking specimen indeed!!! The color is absolutely CHOICE in person!!! These classic manganoan adamites are rare and very highly sought after by collectors - don't miss out!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer and retains an original collection label as well!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE COMING SOON!!!

***PLEASE NOTE: We are located in coastal New Jersey and our area has been decimated by HURRICANE SANDY. While Mandy and I are safe and did not suffer any damage, the local area is in very bad shape. The National Guard is here and there has been an overwhelming influx of help and support from all over. We have been lucky enough to have our power restored but there is a critical lack of resources throughout the area. As a result, we may experience some shipping delays and encounter other logistical issues. We thank you most sincerely for your kind wishes and patience during this time. We will continue to offer specimens from the Nikischer collection, as well as other recent acquisitions, during this time however - so don't miss out!!!
