MANGANOAN ADAMITE

Adamite is a classic mineral from this Mexican mine, where it typically occurs in yellowish to colorless tones. However, in this case, the presence of manganese gives the crystals a purplish hue. The luster is very intense, and the violet color is darker at the ends of the crystals, becoming yellow at the base of some. A very aesthetically pleasing and interesting miniature due to the species.
