Description: Hemi and adamite, small minature, Oxide Zinc Orebody. There's a magnificent large piece from the same find figured in the Min Record "Freilich" issue. That lot was "stolen" from me...I had a handshake on the deal, another dealer showed up while I was waiting for the $ to be wired and offered three times what the guy had asked for the lot! Naturally, he got it...but the story has a happy ending. My source felt so bad about going back on his handhake that he sold me the next lot out of the pocket at his cost...and this turned out to be the best lot of purple adamites ever to come from Santa Eulalia!
