Description

Superb sparkling and very rare Adamite type combined with translucent clear Smithsonite from Lavrion Greece! The piece is fully covered with no damage, excellent display. This cuprian Adamite was enriched by traces of rare earth elements ( REE ) which create this dazzling aqua blue color, so unique from this specific find and trully amazing because of the very large size and the quality of this piece. At some points, the tiny Adamite crystals stacked together to create columnar worm like crystallizations of pure blue color and incredible aesthetics! One of the last one available, and probably the largest and most showy piece of this incredible find!
