The richness of these new specimens certainly makes them significant for the species, and the color saturation and size of the orbs on these examples in my opinion places them ahead of many of the examples even by the generally superior standards of pieces from Ojuela.

This is probably the best example I have-- it's a large vug lined with translucent crystal aggregates.  I'd also say the price is quite cheap, compared to what I've seen other dealers asking for lesser examples....

Part of the reason for the lower price (this would easily be 3 times the price elsewhere) is that I actually went to Ojuela-- there wasn't terribly much to buy, but I did get lucky with a group of these austinites.  While this piece was not collected during that particular excursion (there was only crappy rosasite found that day), I had the privilege of down to the water table at the 6th level of the mine with a group of miners. It is without a doubt the most physically exhausting thing I have done in my life.  Between the ropes, shifting from connecting ladders, and precarious drops, and what basically amounted to mountain climbing hundreds of meters underground (all without safety equipment), I have to say that I have gained a new respect for the people who do this every day, just to bring specimens to the market.  Ojuela material is a staple of wholesalers, but the prices *really, really* don't take into account or even begin to give a sense of the risks and hard work that these people undertake in order to bring that $5 adamite or $10 hemimorphite out of the ground.
