Adamite and Aragonite on PSM Goethite after massive Gypsum from Lavrion Greece! Big formation, up to 16.0cm in length that was once a Gypsum crystal/cluster that got replaced by Goethite covered with small sparkling Adamite crystals on its surface and some transparent Aragonite crystals here and there! The main pseudomorphed Gypsum crystal is completelly hollow as shown on the picture, and filled with gemmy Adamite as well! Both sides are very attractive to display. An impressive specimen!
