Superb pseudomorphed specimen from Lavrion Greece! The dark green glittering Adamite associated with the gemmy Aragonite cover most of the pseudomorphed crystallization which consists of Copper after Goethite after Gypsum, hence the elongated tubular and flat crystals! Very interesting Aragonite crystallization inside one of this late Gypsum pseudomorphs! Very nice piece!
