A classic example from the famed Ojuela Mine, this specimen displays subtle crystalline adamite nestled within a hematite-rich limonite matrix. The soft yellow-green crystals shimmer within a protective cavity, contrasting beautifully against the rich orange and brown tones of the oxidized host rock. This piece captures the geological and aesthetic essence of Durango’s world-renowned mineral district.

• Weight: 7.1 oz (≈ 201 g)
• Size: approx. 3.75" × 3.0" × 2.0"
• Type: Adamite
• Origin: Ojuela Mine, Mapimí, Durango, Mexico
• Finish: Natural, unpolished matrix with vug formation
• Family: Arsenate minerals (zinc arsenate hydroxide)
Energetic & Metaphysical Properties:
Creativity • Joy • Emotional Expression
Chakras: Solar Plexus • Heart
Element: Fire & Water
Adamite radiates gentle vitality and emotional warmth. It is said to inspire creativity and joy, helping one reconnect to authentic passion and purpose. Its golden-green hue symbolizes harmony between the heart and will, encouraging balanced self-expression and radiant energy.
Geological Notes:
• Crystal System: Orthorhombic
