Adamite and Smithsonite from Lavrion Greece! Beautiful piece with attractive turquoise color due to the layer of Adamite beneath the clear Smithsonite. This unusual color is due to the fact that the Adamite is rich in rare earth elements which it is said to be the cause of this beautiful color! Some white Aragonite on top crowning the piece adding contrast and aesthetics!
