TBF460XXX: Specimen formed by a group of crystals of Albite (anorthoclase variety) with a prismatic habit, transparent to translucent, with well-defined faces and edges.

The Pili Mine is known for the presence of anorthoclase (variety of Albite), which appears in well-defined crystals associated with alkaline volcanic rocks. This type of alkali feldspar is relatively uncommon compared to other feldspars, and its presence in the area adds mineralogical interest to the locality.

The mineralization is situated in a volcanic context, related to igneous rocks of alkaline affinity. Anorthoclase forms under high-temperature crystallization conditions in sodium- and potassium-rich magmas, typical of evolved volcanic systems.

EA13M1: This esthetic cuprian Adamite specimen is from an important vug that was mined last March at the venerable Ojuela Mine, in Durango, a mine that is being worked again. The specimen consists of well defined crystals of very brilliant cuprian Adamite, with an interesting green color with bluish tones. Of special appeal is the pseudo-octahedral Adamite crystal shape due to well developed terminal faces to the detriment of the prism. Also, with some olive green Austinite crystals in spherical growths, on a rust-red Limonite matrix.
We will provide a copy of the cuprian Adamite analysis to the buyer.
