Purple Pit, Ojuela Mine, Mapimi, Durango, Mexico
.9 x .4 x .3 inches
SOLD ON EBAY

Collected in 1981 by John Whitmire, this specimen is from the legendary "Purple Pocket." To this day, these are the finest Mexican cobaltoan adamites ever found, and only a small percentage had vivid purple tips like this one. Most specimens from this find were tightly intergrown and were not very aesthetic, however this specimen consists of numerous well-spaced, prismatic crystals.
