Description

Adamite from Lavrion Greece! Extra sparkling specimen of what is a pseudomorph after Smithsonite which has been completely replaced by Adamite. There is no matrix, only some minor Aragonite at the back, all the specimen is in fact a thin leaf like Adamite crystallization! All the previous botroidal Smithsonite crystallization is clearly visible with the two main structures at the center being empty and fully crystallized! Very aesthetic!
